An independent suspension can be as off-road capable as a solid axle, and usually also provides an overall better ground clearance due to the less-protruding differential casing. Anyway, the easiest excuse for going from solid axles to a fully-independent suspension would be a mine-protected vehicle, not a redneck-oriented mud digger.
