Break-Over Angle?

Ok, I'm guessing this is the place to ask this as I haven't found a more knowledgeable group out there.


I've read a lot about approach and departure angles, but haven't found a lot about the break over angle. Sure angling the vehicle helps, but often that's not an option. Is there any sort of optimal ratio to hold to regarding this?

Please help my ignorance! :(
Perhaps it's not even really an issue?

Thanks again for any advice:)

I've never heard of a ratio that is optimal. Breakover angle is determined by tire size, suspension lift and wheelbase, so I guess the longer the vehicle wheelbase, the taller the lift and bigger the tires required? Or the more powerful the winch required......
