I ran a stock JTR on Fins and things over Thanksgiving. You can watch YouTube on what that trail entails. I got high centered 3 times (just stacked rocks under front wheels and drove right off) and scratched the tow receiver and rear bumper more times than i can count. End of day, the truck won't get stuck. Too much flex and both lockers, but you'll drag on the skid plates, get high centered, and for sure bend the tow receiver. I am a little worried about the catalytic converter, it's very exposed, just a single bar going across, BUT, the thing is solid and unstoppable.
I'll be upgrading to Metalcloak 3" lift and 37's soon. Just so much else you have to add, driveshafts, steering stabilizers, and eventually axle shaft replacements at a minimum (chromoly)..you tack on new wheels (need 8" width at a minimum for 37" tires) and tires, the whole thing is $14k+with labor, and labor is only like $1500 for all that (that's before the Chromoly shafts, and regearing..add $4k with labor on top of that)....Things people on here don't talk about.
