If you wheel enough it will happen.

Best thing t do would be find a place to practice. Find a place wher you can get a rear wheel off the ground with your front end dipped. You need to have a friend with you when you do this. MAKE DAMB SURE YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T FLOP OVER. Find a creavace or something thaqt you can dive into (cross axle situation) and as your front wheel drops and your rear comes off the gournd lock the brakes. You will feel how high that rear end comes up and it will be scary.

Remember the friend you brought with you? well, he was outside watching your expression and your truck. And I bet he will say you were very far from roll over but you probably felt like calling your insurance agent. It is good to have him do the same thing so you can see exactly what your truck does and compare how you felt to what the actual risk is. You will be very surprised.

Now do the same exercise again and this time instead of locking the brakes let off them slightly. Dramatic difference.

If it can break it can be fixed.
