Default Off road angles

Hi, I have a 2011 XLT screw with 5.5' bed 4x4. What is the most side angle you guys would consider safe? I have a spot in my lawn that when I drove on it it was at 14 degrees according to the offroad screen and that felt pretty steep. This is my first 4x4 and am not too sure of some things. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mike

14 isn't a lot. Idk the side roll tipping point of these trucks though. I'm pretty sure I've had mine at a near 30°

Thanks, like I said, this is my first 4x4 and am unsure of some stuff. Maybe it felt worse because the drivers side was downhill.

None taken, but I wasn't trying to go wheeling. I was just driving across my yard and had to go around something and that is what the screen said. I was trying to stay towards the edge of my yard so I didn't leave tire tracks through the center of it. I just thought it was a good question to know the answer to and who betterto ask then the people on here.

i have had mine on a trail that post one section of it at 33 degrees. they strongly advised not to take lifted trucks down the part and use other route past this point.
i don't know if its a true 33 but the but does suck up cloth lol. i know what the OP is saying
