Do you actually Use it?

I was wondering, to all you guys with leveling kits. If you actually take your trucks off road or is it just all looks? And how do they perform off road?
thanks

It's in 4x4 at least once per month. Normally sugar sand.

I've had it a few places where the extra clearance was beneficial.

pretty stock feel all the way around.

Cons: Feels a little bit more floaty and have noticed a bit more axle wrap.

Something that only happens once....then you replace the axle. His comment made me chuckle.

I try not to take this truck in the woods too much, want to keep it nice. But I have used 4x4 a few times, I can't say I needed the leveling kit for wheels clearance, although I can see it would help. Mines more for looking good. I just think the factory dip just looks stupid.
