    What kind of tires do you have? They look pretty chunky which might not be helping your sand traction either.

    They're Toyo Cross Country Mud Terrains. Yes, they are very agressive but I was running 20 psi and didnt expect any soft sand where I was running.
    3" suspension lift, shocks: Rancho 9000, tires 33"x11.5", wheels 16"x8", offset= 0, no front sway bar

    90% of the offroading I've done in my VX is deep sand driving so I bought Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors:



    I bought them because they won't dig into the sand as hard as an MT and they're good in the snow. I can run these at 15 PSI and go through just about any sand I want in 4L. Drop them down to 8-10 PSI and I can go most of those places in 4H and cross deeply rutted sand without a problem in 4L. MTs won't float over the sand as easily as ATs so I'd say you need them to be at 10 or less anytime you think you might find yourself in deep sand.
