Jumping is hard on components, the frame, everything...

If you want to do it with less breakage (in general), assuming the "go slower" thing is less obvious...try going "easier".

There are techniques to helping the truck survive....like matching wheel speed to ground speed while in the air...so when you land, there's less driveline shock (As opposed to being at full throttle as you take off, and leaving your foot on it until landing...so your tires are still acellerating in the air since you took away the resistance, etc...)

There's giving a little brake tap to weight the front end when about to hit a ledge/bump..before the bump, so the front end gets a little bounce up before the bump...so the truck is already on the way up as it hits, also reducing shock.

There's giving a little goose to the gas as the rear tires are coming down off the same bump (With traction...)...to squat the suspension/level the truck out on the way down, rather than have it come down hard and jounce, etc.

There's gassing when the drivetrain is straight and unobstructed, and coasting into/over obstructions, rather than juicing it into resistance, etc.

etc.

IE: If you break alot of stuff, you are like the novice skier who's bombing the mountain, but is pretty much out of control the whole way down, etc....if anything gets in your way...you end up going into it, rather than carving around it.



A little finese can help keep your repair bills down.
