Default Will my truck survive mudding?

I have a 2008 FX2 sport package f150. I added a flowmaster thunder cat-back dual exhaust system, k&n cold air intake, and performance chip. I have a 2 inch leveling kit with brand new 17in all terrain tires. I know this truck wasn't build to handle mudding well, but will my add-ons make a difference? What should I add to make it a better offroad truck?

Honestly, I'd say it just depends on how much mud you want to play around in. The right tires will make a HUGE difference and allow most 2wd to keep up with a 4x4 in many conditions. But if you're lookin to go tear around in a 10" deep slop that a Raptor would have a field day in... I wouldn't do it

get yourself some tires and go have fun!! thats what i did, i have a 2wd f150 and slapped some duratracs on it and i never have problems in the mud. just get speed before you enter the mud and youll get through it.

Buy/make a set of tire chains and you've got the best treads out there.

honsetly, it depends on where your at as far as the terrain. i use to have a 2005 2wd jeep grand cherroke on stock everything. i use to go mudding all the time, following 4wd lifted trucks through some stuff you would NEVER think it could make it through. loved that thing and i swear, NOTHING would destroy it. it was a beast. one thing i found though that always helped (i know its bad advice) is SPEED. hit the hole fast enough and you CAN glide right over. not always but you can

You can do anything.... As long as you have a buddy who can pull you out!
