Well, I jumped it like dukes of hazard over a crack in the ground with lava coming out of it in 2018 evacuating when the mountain blew up. Does that count?

I have a 74 d200 on a 93 ctd w250. Needed a 2” lift for the floor to clear the tcase. I might get a FFS long arm kit and switch it to air ride. I love the truck, but 40 miles of gravel a day to work is killing my back.
