have you taken off the tires and checked for dirt/mud? Every time we go out we have to clean the truck really well or the brakes start squealing.

always try to get a bigger, more capable truck to go with you. have recovery gear(strap, basic tool kit, some type of communication, and flashlites don't hurt either.) and don't always try to be superman by pulling people out and stuff cuz that will definitely break some thing in your 1/4ton(?) running gear.

Enough said. You should know if you're going to fast or bouncing too high...

One thing that comes to mind is watch what you run for tires down the road because its an IFS front end. If it is a DD though i cant see you going too agressive. Just gotta watch out because, and i may be wrong but too agressive of a tire can cause alienment problems on a IFS front end.
