Climbed a snowbank. Guess I need a lift kit!
So I climbed a snowbank today outside my house. Yup I was bored! My right front tire was up approximately 2' with the left on the pavement. I was shocked when I got out to find my drivers rear stuffed in the wheel well and nearly hitting the inner fender. I have a teraflex leveling kit, but damn do I need a lift kit. I have not done really any off roading yet. Would this be typical articulation for moderate off roading or is my snowbank pushing it?
Here are some pics of the fun!

I think it maybe your rear bumper that may have sagged your stock coil springs sorry to say...Any weight on these stock coil springs will compress them in a short period of time. I am sure you probably lost about 1/2 to 3/4" of lift with the bumper. You could add larger coil spring spacers to lift it up... but it won't really help much overtime. You would be wise to invest in a set of Heavier duty coil springs. Or you can go cheaper and trim our fenders. Did your rear tires touch the pinch seam at all?

Wow that's crazy! I have a tf bb 2.5 and bfg 35 12.5 and my tire doesn't even go near the fender flares. Fully flexed I can still fit at least one finger the whole way in my wheel well around the tire

I bet the teraflex leveling kit it puts more weight in the back end when the front end goes up.
I have one too, but I know I need to get a better package down the road.

I think you need to get a bit of a lift and then find a real snow bank
