Off Roading suspension help

Competition 2006 Carlisle All-Truck Nationals PULLS!!!!!!!!!!!

My suspention is stock with the exception of nitto 295/70/17's. Was in the badlands area and dispite the warning of no off roading, there were 2 chances to strech out the suspention a bit. I took it easy since it's not a jeep. I have a few good pictures, on in the grass with a nice backdrop of the hill/mountains. And the second one was where the hill had a nice curved steep approach.



On this second one I had the GF get ready and take a pic as soon as I stopped. I had the rear bumper about a foot from the ground before the tires slipped a little bit, if I had lockers, I would of move 2 more feet? I know the posi wasn't working at this speed.



I would think that approach angles can be rather large due to where the sump is in the oil pan. What about a departure angle? anyone have these numbers?



Don't worrie tree huggers, I left zero tire tracks. :) It's creapy quite out here tho. I mean, All you hear is birds chiping, and the rattle of a 3rd gen idling while your 300+ feet away from it.
