CUCV approach and departure angle?

[Blastercanon1]

Wondering if anyone has the specs fir the CUCVs approach and departure angles

Where is that data? It's not on the data-plate. I thought the info would be here but 1-14 on page 1-8 only tells us ground clearance between 9.8" and 10.7".
TM 9-2320-289-20

We'll bump this and look through -10 to see if we can find 22° and 30° somewhere in the manual.

I highlighted the approach angel in red but I have not been able to find out the departure angle for it. I am mostly trying to figure so I do not take it on any trails that will get me into trouble, Thank you

That angle and any published data would only be for stock trucks in new condition, no saggy worn springs or lift kits and big tires, so each truck will be different.

I think my approach and departure angles are almost straight up and straight down. I'll have to get the old thing out and see.

@Sharecropper how far forward did you move your front axel?

@Sharecropper how far forward did you move your front axel?

One inch forward with Zero Rates.

One inch forward with Zero Rates.

Wow. Looks more than that with those tires. Thanks
Spent a couple hours going through your build link last night. Will finish tonight.
Nice work. Will be using some of your ideas when I get to that chapter with mine.
