Was fine until traction control faulted out, 1 front and 1 rear were in the air, party over.

4+ Suspension and 2" body. The rear is even higher now. I pulled the jump seats and some other stuff out.

Those are the least aggressive 35's I've ever seen

Well it looks nice. I have 4 inches, comprised of +3 Springs and 1 inch pucks under the spring perches. Did you put the body lift on yourself? Mind if I ask for specifics?

Make sure water did not get into the diff / t-case breather hoses.

Can't believe it did not get stuck by stalling in the water.

I had the cdl locked, the abs faulted out, and 2 wheels were off the ground. So the right front and the left rear just free wheeled

The air filter was soaked. I had it almost up to the windshield rolling down a river last time I was out. Couldn't believe it stayed running. That's like 5 feet of water. Passenger carpet got wet
