high center = bottom out the differential case on hard ground, with tires in air or water or ruts where they can't grip anything.

Why, because that way there will be so much more water between the rubber and the road? Wet is wet.

Since I "abuse" my 4wd system like this, I figure who better to attest to it's ruggedness?
