94 dodge 3/4 ton Cummins. 5 speed straight stick. fairly aggressive tires. Live in Montana on a ranch feeding cows. When in tough snow in 2 wheel drive the back tires start to jump so bad that I have to back off. also in 4 wheel drive tough snow both front and rear tires start to jump so bad need to back off. Kind of frustating trying to feed. Any ideas how to correct the problem?

Aggressive tires? How so ? are you running them at max pressure, or less ?

Description of jumping :

As if you're biting, then releasing, biting then releasing ?

Is this on all surfaces, or changes depending on what you're driving on ?

Gravel / paved road / mud / frozen tundra / etc.

air pressure 55 just in snow not sure about the jumping seems like up and down and side to side but could be biting releasing . tried to floor floor it to get all tires spinning but just made it worse. with regular mud and snow tires it wasn`t near as bad
