I like to do a lot of mudding, but have never done a water wheelie. Is that the best way to get through deep water? I usually just take is slow and work it through. What is the best way to get the front to wheels up? Just lean back and juice it? Stand on the racks? Or is it not possible with stock tires and I need larger aftermarket tires? Also if I can do it with stock tires do I need to be in 2WD, 4WD or diff locked to do it best ? I notice most vids on youtube seem to have it diff locked. Thanks in advance.

 

My 08 Griz 700 will wheelie when the water gets deep without having to give it too much throttle. I just have to make sure that I get the front up before the water gets too deep or its sunk.
