Was flipping through my tks owner manual (the 1.5" thick extra comprehensive one), which I never noticed before, on pg/s 433-434 it reads:

"Ramp Travel Index" (RTI)
The ramp travel index is the distance, in inches, that you can drive your vehicle with one wheel on a 20-degree ramp without lifting any other wheel off the ground. This distance up the ramp divided by the wheelbase of the vehicle and multiplied by 1000 is the RTI. This vehicle has an RTI of 655, which means you can articulate one front wheel 32 inches in the air while the other three wheels remain in contact with the ground.

LOL, Gee-wiz I didn't know they published that in the manual. That's cool. I never noticed it before. Doesn't specify what model or series tk, but the manual covers 1500-3500. I would guess a 2500 or 3500 would give the most favorable number. Some of the crazy stuff you forgot about or never knew was in the manual...he he

Now I can go back to eating my doughnut!

Power wagon disconnected gives the best. A stiffly sprung 3500 would not do real well as stiff sprung rigs lift a wheel pretty quickly. It is fairly common for really flexible jeeps to hit 1000 or better which is fun to watch..
