Since I've wheeled just about everything out there, you also have to remember that there is a learning curve on how a vehicle reacts on the trail. I can throw my lwb truck on angles that I'd have not put my 4Runner on. Then on that learning curve I found a boulder that I usually missed in my swb truck. Smacked that bumper pretty hard. It's hard to tell what is occuring without being there and seeing what the truck is doing, and why it doesn't wheel as your past rig. Since you had no compression on your swb you would have had no bump-steer, maybe you have some bump-steer in this truck since you now have travel.
