Say 3'' lift and 32's, how off road capable are you compared to stock? I mean rocks, mud, stuff like that.

I went through just as much mud in my stocker and bald tires as I do with my 6"and 33s. Depends on knowing how to drive in/on the environment you choose.

I have dura tracs too. Absolutely love em!

Grab a couple buddies with some winches and straps and go find out! I got a buddy with 2" bb and 31s that goes almost everywhere just because of his "make it or break it" driving style lol.

Depending on what the wheeling environment is where you go at. Like here in Colorado there is some trails with a bunch of rocks that need a taller lift to just be able to get over them... But here 33s and a close to a 4.5" lift can do around 90% of the trails for the other 10% they are rated a 10 atleast 35s plenty of armor needed plus expect breakage
