The ZR2/Bison, like the Power Wagon, is more ‘softly’ sprung than its counterparts. I’ve actually upped the front and rear spring rate to compensate for additional weight as well as changed the front UCA’s to increase usable wheel travel but I know what you’re saying. When that day comes I’m fortunate to have a couple of lockers under this thing haha.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a little deeper rut on the LF tire and you would have been in a true 'cross-axle' transitional position. At that point you could have tested recovery boards, stacked rocks, a winch pull, or a locker/ltd slip to get out of your predicament. The picture shows the truck pretty flexed-out.
Those of us who use 3/4 and 1 ton trucks probably would have lifted that 2nd tire due to our HD suspensions.
