something stupid. I've had mine tilted pretty good to where I thought I was going to roll it but didn't by being careful. Photos somewhere in my gallery. I'll edit soon as I locate it.

Just don't jump it, lol. Other than that, you'll be ok. IMO, you're more likely to flip it on the road doing a panic turn than off-roading.

Every time you feel like you're taking any kind of risk alway exercise extreme caution. It only takes a split second to make a costly mistake. As minimoster stated "you're more likely to flip it on the road doing a panic turn than off-roading." this is true because everyday driving is second nature to use for which reason we seldom exercise caution. Check this close call I had, truck was still on a 6 inch lift.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INB2VPOY4-8

Here on this picture I stopped a the top of the hill and got off the truck to see what was on the other side. Man was I ever lucky on this one, I had about a 10 ft drop just inches away from me, then about a 400 feet of rolling down the hill.

That doesn't look too bad. Need sliders to get down without body damage. Pictures are ALWAYS deceiving though I think

Just get to know the limits of yourself and your truck and you'll be ok.

On the video, it says that you are glad that you did flip your truck. At the very end of the video it cuts off too, so we dont get to see you flip the truck or what?

Oops sorry about the typo, I meant, "I'm glad I didn't flip my truck"

It's preety hard to flip a truck but we have flipped two on road and one off road, the off road one we were tring to go through a steep ditch on a 7.5 inch lifted supercab. We didnt come out perpendicular and we rolled once. I would not sweat it though, just dont try to turn on a dime.
