Smooth jump... but that don't look like 3 feet :dunno:

Maybe in the air for 3 feet distance wise... But that's not 3 feet vertical...

That's regular offroading air :lol:

Your highest wheel still isn't 3 feet off the ground...

Don't get me wrong, it's still a wicked jump...

Smooth, with a good landing!

And I thought the point was you got your truck 5 feet off the ground? :jester:

Look man. I don't have a problem with you, just the numbers you throw out are absurd, that's all I'm saying.

There was no more than maybe 18" of air on that jump. Is that more than I'd be willing to do in my truck? You bet. But don't go exaggerating everything and expect us to believe it.

A 4500 lb. truck with stock suspension isn't going to come out of a 5' vertical leap unscathed. Look how hard the suspension had to work for a 1.5' jump, now just imagine a jump from three times the height.

Just cool it with the bullsh*t numbers, that's the point I'm trying to get across.

no no no manual is when you have to get out and lock it in..auto lock is the shifter in the floor of the cab that you pull down to engage the 4x4..ok? now.. gotta go get that vid..be right back!

He's talking about manual/automatically locking front DIFF (commonly known as a selectable locker), you're talking about manual/automatically locking front HUBS.

Big difference. On the IFS trucks, there is no hub to engage/disengage, the halfshaft is bolted directly into the hub splines.

Right, our trucks have a live axle. Thus, no locking hubs.
