Actually Steve, it sounds like you know exactly what you are doing. That's how you want to drive over rocks, slow and controlled.

When you hit that stuff hard and lurch over things, you can break stuff when you come crashing back down.

It's all about the finese. It takes more skill to creep over something gently than it does to hammer the throttle and use momentum.

I obviously don't have any experience with it, but I've read in a few magazines that the front traction control takes to much wheelspin (in thier opinion) before it kicks in.

You don't want alot of wheelspin in the rocks. When a spinning tire catches traction, again, that's when you can break stuff.

I think using your technique and driving slow is more of a help than that front traction control would be. It's okay to lift a front tire once in a while, as long as you have those two rears pushing you and you make sure you come back down to earth slowly, no harm done.
