Ok I did something stupid and left my truck parked in my yard which was fine until it rained and it sank about 6 inches on the steers so basically there in a whole and my drives are just spinning. I've tried digging around the steers and even jacking it up and putting 2x4's under but wasn't able to jack it up much being that the jack would just sink in the mudd. I have a little 3 ton floor jack and it would not lift it much anyways. i bought a 6 ton bottle jack but the truck just presses the thing into the ground. I've put blocks under it and it presses them into the ground also.. other options i've considered are these pieces of channel iron straped onto the drives I've seen on youtube, and or a heavy duty winch connected to a tree around 100 feet away.. of course i would have to buy the winch and 80 feet of chain. I know you can call a wrecker to come out and winch it out for $350 bucks or so but not sure they'd be able to make it down my 1/4 mile long dirt drive way that's some what muddy at the moment. either way i would rather use my money for some tools that i would at least have something to show for my money rather then giving it to the wrecker guy.. anyways thought id post this before i go any further with it thinking maybe yall may have another idea.. oh and if getting a winch from harbor freight or something how big of one would you think i would need? and would it be better to use a snatch as far as saving some money on having to get a larger more powerful winch otherwise with out the snatch.. I tried to upload some pic's but sight said something to do with security issue..

Keep jacking a bit at a time to get the hard wood boards level that you put under FT. tires, any of your friends have a 4/4 truck or van that can pull your truck up out of sunk in spot your in?

you can try put a chain through wheel ....
we did this several times in winter and works like a champ .... we car haulers always have 4-5 feet chainsjoseph1853 Thanks this. -
...not around tire , but trough the disc
Cetane+ Thanks this. -
NoAutoZone, Badmon, Big Don and 1 other person Thank this.

sorry i can explain this other way due to my immigrant nature and english as my 2nd language
-
let me try again :
take chain and put it through the one of the holes in the disc and connect both ends ... you need only 2 feet chain
the most we did - 1 chain on each outside drive wheels to get out ... took probably 15 min to get out
less that a min to put chainCetane+ Thanks this. -
Ive been pulled out of soft ground (wet grass) by small ish 4X4 pick ups a few times. The joys of roll-off
Pulled myself out once with a skidsteer.....if you can pull from solid ground, its not that bad, especially with help -
