Once again nothing big at all i dont want to have to worry about getting stuck! id just stick to some trails probably and thats about it. Im getting all terrains put on this saturday (265-70-17) so with those i dont think it would be a problam if i just stick to the trails. I just want to make sure it wont like mess the truck up or something

I go mudding with my 2wd. Make sure you be careful of what happens under the hood, under my hood it looks like a disaster, mud everywhere, keep it clean! I just need to figure out what to cover and how to clean what I cover.

You will need a LOT of momentum, so keep pumping that gas...(seriously). I get stuck in ANYTHING, there is NO weight on my backend, find a fridge on the roadside and load that in there, you shouldn't get stuck as easy

By the way ruffin it, i love ur truck, i see ur going on some trails in ur photos and i wound want to do any more than that really with the 4x2, so what kind of lift did u put on ur truck it looks awsome, maybe the best ive seen on a 4x2.

Thanks for the compliment, it has a fabtech 3 1/2in spindle lift with a coil spacer, add a leaf and a 2in block. basically a 5in lift with 33x12.5 nitto terra grappler A/T's. I have been through some mucky stuff, keeping up with a buddy of mines 4x4 jeep (with 35in mud tires and an 8in lift). Like Josiah says, keep the momentum up and keep turning the wheels (at least in mud).

I have actually never been stuck (knock on wood) but I also am careful where I go, even if that means getting out of the truck and walking into the questionable area. Those "trails" i was on were pretty dry and not that bad so it was no problem. There's just isnt any places in my area to have fun off road.

Nope, probably maybe a little I don't know what your stock tire size is but it won't lift it enough to be noticable..
