Default floating rhinos

I just put Gorilla axles at both ends of my Rhino, and Gorilla sends you a DVD of their shop and their "team Gorilla" ATVs and Rhinos when you buy their axles. They have some pretty trick ATVs on the DVD that have about two feet of lift, and huge long a-arms. They also show a lot of mud bog racing on the DVD. All of the ATVs do water wheelies, with the front tires pretty much just floating on top of the water. They might as well be riding two wheel drive ATVs, because the front tires aren't pulling them forward at all. The side by side mud bog racing they show on the DVD did not show any water wheelies at all though. The side by sides seem to be able to keep all four tires on the bottom of the mud bog much easier. Some of the side by sides were in water up to the riders butt as he sat in the drivers seat, and that was with 30" tires and a 7" Gorilla lift kit. So if the water is that deep and they aren't floating yet, I don't think I would want to go much deeper. Its a pretty entertaining DVD that Gorilla sends you. Maybe you could call them and see if they can send you one.
