I got some new Grabber AT2's last week and finally had a chance to try them out today. I may have underestimated how deep some water was and hit the dip way too fast. The front end came down pretty hard and felt pretty rough and to my untrained eyes, everything looked okay. I was wondering if there is anything I can specifically look for to see if I damaged my front shocks or anything suspension-wise on the front end. I probably didn't break anything, and my ride feels fine, but the truck came down HARD on the front and I don't want any surprises later.

Just a visual of alignment, struts, ball joints, tie rods and the basics should do fine. If it rides fine, your truck is most likely fine. Also listen for any creaks or noises that weren't present before.

Next time be more cautious is really all you can do.

That's what I've done to this point as far as assessing possible damage so I guess I'm in the clear for now. I'm usually pretty careful and take things slow but I just miscalculated how deep the water was. Lack of rainfall lately had me thinking it couldn't be THAT deep haha.

Ranger's are tough, a couple hard hits wont do much im sure it is fine. I've jumped mine a couple times on purpose, numerous times on accident (when you are on a desert run amongst a big group catching big dips is hard to do when on the trails). Of course my truck has a little more done to it and I use limit straps, but im sure yours is fine.
