RE: Jumping a truck
depends on how big of jump we are talking, a cupple inches you could prob handle with maby some minor damage however i wouldent intentionally take my truck over any jumps (thow ive gotten bitt of air more than once)
dukes of hazzard well that just sounds like a whole lot of hurt to your truck and yourself to me, even if you do do it in a $100 pos you gotta make sure your straped in good too neck, back brace, proper belts ect or your gonna hurt yourself let alown the vehicle

RE: Jumping a truck
Me and my friend jumped his moms jeep (not on purpose)...
Not huge like, but we had at least a foot of air, and when we hit it cracked the front window, and shattered the back... nothing else broke though.

RE: Jumping a truck
ive jumped my truck really good a few times. but then again my trucks more set up to handle it. ( lift, dual front shocks, big tires to absorb the shock) i jumped it off railraod tracks a few times and gotten the hole thing in the air. ive also prerunnered my truck 50 mph down a trail and hit a few series of dips. she bounched and flew like hell. only thing was i ripped a bump stop out. my friends jumped his extremely hard over railroad tracks. he's gotten the hole truck at least 3 feet off the ground before. only ones after doing it at 55 did he break a motor mount haha
