First of all, I highly doubt your truck would make it through 5 or 6 feet of water.
Mabye a 1ft puddle that splashes pretty high, but not 6 feet.
LOL you would drown yourself at that level.
Even if the water has a hard bottom to it, I would not suggest to go ovet the top of the tires for sure.

Tires are the best thing you can do to help with mud performance.
A lift will help clear big tires.
Power mods, such as air intakes, custom tunes and many others will help to get back the lost power of the tires.

yeah man, 6 ft of water? hahaha, thats funny. even trucks that are lift like 3 feet cant even go through like 4 feet of water at most! just "youtube" it, everything is on there of videos.

your truck right now is about 6 ft high give or take a few inches, and your expecting to go through water that tall? when you do that, send me a picture so i can see how bad your truck is messed up....

Hi All,
I am new here.
Just want to let you know that back in the 50's the British made an amazing utility vehicle that can walked under the water.
It is called The Austin Champ.
