Thats the problem with a lot of lifted 4x2's. Launching can get you up some
obsticals that a 4x4 can go up, but the "thing" in offroading is making it look
easy and coming out with a ride that is in the same condition that you brought
it in. I have seen a couple 4x2's literally take off and land in 30 ft deep
ditch where I have gone over the years(plenty missing this ditch but coming
away crying because their truck was now smashed on a rock.. between a rock and
a hard or err an empty place). Try explaining to your insurance company why
they need to pay for a crane to come and get your truck ;)
