A simple google search before spouting off would have saved you some embarassment....

Glossary
Approach Angle: When viewed from the side, this is the angle between the ground and a line running from the front tire to the lowest-hanging point directly in front of it, which is usually the front bumper. This angle gives an indication of how the vehicle can approach a steep incline and its ability to climb up objects like rocks and other obstacles without damaging the front bumper.
Breakover Angle: This angle is a measurement of a vehicle’s ability to drive over a sharp ridge without touching its underside. The “included” angle measures the angle inside the ramp, and the “excluded” angle measures the included angle to the vehicle’s horizontal. A shorter vehicle with large tires will have the best (largest) breakover angle. Most SUVs run around 20 degrees “excluded” breakover angle.
Departure Angle: The angle between the ground and a line running from the rear tire to the lowest-hanging point directly behind it, which is usually the rear bumper or trailer hitch. Similar to the approach angle, this angle indicates how the vehicle can depart a steep incline and its ability to exit off of rocks and other obstacles without damaging the rear bumper.
Grade (upslope) Capability: The percentage grade of a hill that a truck is capable of driving/climbing up.
Side Slope Capability: The percentage grade of a hill that a truck can traverse.
Water Fording Capability: The depth of water through which the truck can drive.

Great info!
BTW, I had 33 inch tires... My understanding is if you cranked the torsion bars up in the front you can sneak 35" tires under there...
