Rock crawling you generally do about...oh...4 mph, and you as an engineer can understand the forces involved here.
Now imagine the moment on the suspension when you drop a 4500lb vehicle doing 70MPH even 1 foot and it hits the ground. The stresses are HUGE. Shocks cycle several hundred times a minute, and really gets em hot.
But.....there is almost no better way to get the adrenaline going.
One helluva rush

yeah, I do understand the difference in forces and I'm sure its absolutely wild.
