I don’t get it either. Works fine for towing but they actually work better in normal mode for regular driving

I always put mine down if I don't need them up. It's one of the things I don't like about the Ram.
I have the very first one made. Actually my truck has a lot of prototypes on it. The original guy sold his jig to this dude: https://www.highcountrycustoms.net/shop - but mine is about 2 inches shorter than all the ones being made now.
My mirrors are incapable of flipping up
Hells Gate is just a big ramp. And Moab is all ramps and ledges. And is actually easier IMO with a longer wheelbase. Everything is 10X harder and requires more skill in a short wheel base. The longer the wheel base, the more planted. I can't imagine the level of stupid that would be required to flip a full size on Hells Gate. But I'm sure a Toyota bro could manage it.
Synergy guys are super cool. We did Prichett Canyon with them. It was a long long day. That truck of theirs has seen a lot of action in Moab.
Well, not all of Moab. You've never run Coyote Canyon I'd guess...
Good point. That's south of Moab. But good point. A lot of Area BFG was also rock garden. Shame it's all closed off. I was making generalizations. General public thinks oh wow, you're gonna die in a fullsize. Actually you'll die in a Tacoma with a RTT and traction boards.
the saddest part about me is I've never put my Jeeps in Moab. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
While I’ve seen stock superduty’s out at hells gate I’d much prefer wheeling my jeep.

I'm going to contact them. I'd love a bumper like that. My Dodge is a 3rd gen and a diesel which I know creates some issues for winch space but I'd really just like a receiver incorporated into a high clearance bumper that I could put a winch on when necessary. Do you have a sway bar disconnect on your 4th gen? It seems to articulate pretty well.
Sorry for derailing the thread.
It's a Power Wagon, so I have a winch cradle factory, Front/Rear Lockers, Electronic Disconnecting Sway bar, yada yada. Although today it's on 39's with almost nothing stock.
You should have a look at Mercenary Offroad. Todd is a craftsman. And he has a 3rd gen bumper that's pretty dope with winch mount that is high and tight. If that's what you are going for. https://mercenaryoffroad.com/collections/dodge-bumpers

Well, there’s the evidence. My front driver tire is slightly left of where yours was. The line was close but different.

So hard to tell from looking at pics after the fact. So many factors come into play. A little left or right, wheelbase, etc... A big one is consistent torque being applied when your rear wheel is yet to climb which lifts the front wheel. Easing in and letting it settle, then inch fwd and let settle, then inch fwd and let settle, repeat until the rear wheel starts to climb. May have worked, but may have not. So many factors. I wouldn't try to Monday morning quarterback it, just hit it again next year and try not to flop.

Agree, the torque took it over. Had he let it settle as you said and steered driver more that should have lowered the passenger side but would seem some what counterintuitive in the heat of the moment.
There's also some stability to be had from the length of the unlimited jeep vs a limited jeep.

You exiting “The Gap” on Coyote was a master class in letting the left front tire settle.
