Reading this I get your point. The rear axle pumpkin will be the lowest point of the vehicle. But in offroading what your saying doesn't make sense because either:
A: you've never been offroading
or
B: you're simplifying the scenario too much and not account for suspension flex. It's almost like your not comprehending how suspension works based on the above statement.
Been off roading plenty. What your not understanding is the only place lifting the front on an independent suspension truck gives you more clearance is in between your lower control arms. Otherwise the middle section of the truck.
That is exactly where the lowest part is on the rear axle.
So again just because the front clears that rut, stump, rock ,etc , doesn't mean the rear axle will.
Independent suspension trucks that go into ruts that are deeper then their tires are big, are really fun to watch.
