    I honestly want to jump mine a few feet higher than that and have it come back down safely. But not much higher. Just the way it handles in mud AND snow is awesome. I'm trying to find one in louisiana that's good for this kind of a beating.

    If you want to start launching your truck, safely, then you're looking at long travel suspension IMO

    Just keep in mind a 2002 is over 10 years old. Plenty of maintenance may be required in a 150,000 to 200,000 mile vehicle, especially if it has been neglected.

    Water pump, plugs/wires, PCV valve, fluids (tranny, front diff, rear diff, T-case), timing belt, accessory belts, thermostat, radiator hoses, exhaust components, idler bearing, shocks, etc are all normal wear components that hopefully have been changed, but may not and that could add up.

    Basically, spend some time looking your potential vehicle over and see how much looks like it has been replaced or see if the owner has records.
