Would it even be worth it?

to put my truck in a local mudbog just for s*** and giggles, or would it be stupid of me to do? the stock class is anything up to a 36" tire. all i have is 305/65/17 Pro comp xtreme a/t's on and 3:55 limited slip. im thinking id end up messing something up being the mud is probably so damn deep/thick, and the cleanup would be a PITA! so whats everyone think. ive seen some jeeps with small lifts and 33s out there, didnt get that far though

I'd try it, I've seen may trucks on 33s go more places then trucks on even 37s with the simple driver mod (that's someone that knows how to wheel). You have to start somewhere. Just try it. Remember no matter what you have someone will have something bigger and badder. I wheeled the crap out of my 03 F-150, the only thing that sucked was the limited slip. Once one wheel was in the air forget it, even trying to ride the brakes.

and yes my truck is a 4x4 but with a good locker and tires a 2wd can be very capable, check out madmaxwell he wheels his truck with AT's and 5.5" of lift on a 2wd

yeah i did them, they werent hard at all to do, just measure 100x drill once kinda thing just to make sure they were centered. im gonna be taking them off and re smoking them alittle better as well as putting LED's in the to help brighten them up.

the only thing id do different is going with a smaller light, like the little triangle ones...

and the truck did good even with the 4.2, ask minimonster17 he wheeled with me when i blew it up (thats his black F150 in the first link) I even pulled him out a few times. but now its time to step it up 1 ton axles and 40's look at the build thread (link in sig)
