Up to your diffs or lowest point of your A arms on the wet thick stuff. The ATs will not clean well and spin more than the MTs. Only way is to get a buddy with a tow strap and try it out.
With my lift and AT 35s I can still only push through about 1 foot of thick wet mud without a good moving start or else my front cross member becomes a mud plow and eventually the tires cake up and spin in place. Try it, take pics and give us a good story.

I just took my 2wd mudding last night. I have a 5in fabtech lift and 33in Nitto terra grappler A/T. Went through between 1 to 2 feet of pretty wet mud! Didnt have any problems, didnt get stuck at all.

I even went up and down some steep mud slopes with pretty good traction. My tires did fill up with that wet mud, but i was still impressed with what i took on.

I (we) do have to work harder with our 2wd vs the 4x4 guys to do the same stuff.

But I was with 6 other 4x4's that could pull me out if i did get stuck. Without them their I wouldnt have tried some of the things i did. (like looking staight at the moon while climbing a mud hill).

Sorry didnt take any pics, I thought it would be too dark.
