honestly, you'd be surprised what the stock setup will get you through w/ some common sense. i drove through so much sh*t w/ trimble one day at rancho on just a body lift, 35'' A/T's, and stock suspension. Did I get stuck? twice, once when i had one rear tire in the air, and a front tire like 8'' in a hole, and another time going through some really deep water.

trimble got stuck in the same puddle i did, but he hydrolocked his engine. i was fortunate enough to not have that happen.
