i have a 91 k5 that i am about to lift. i am puttin a 4" superlift and 35x13.5 toyo mt on it. it is 4x4. do you think that once it's lifted that it will be ready for a lil mud. i have taken it in the mud before but not since i got a new engine in it. we are going to mud fest the weekend after it gets done and i was just wonderin if its a good idea or not. it is my daily drive so i wouldnt sink or anything, just a lil mud.thanks

Drive it like you stole it!
That should be alright with 35's if you take it easy on it, and don't get too crazy. Now the limits within the small 1/2 ton axles, and realize when it is stuck, it is stuck. Letting someone pull you out carries no shame. MAtter of fact, plenty of drivers will have much respect for a driver that knows when to use the skinny pedal, and when not to.
Knowing when to say when may be the difference between driving it home or not. You should be fine. Do you know what gears are in it? The higher stock gears with taller tires will help to keep from breaking stuff, if you are reasonable.
Do make good preperations for you trip. Good anchor points and good recovery equipment is a must. You do know not to use the rear ball for the trailer hitch as a recovery point, and no chains or anything goofy like that right?
