Looking for long travel suspension

[brettbart]

I have at 2021 wild track that I’m looking for suspension options for pretty hard desert running. I just installed a set of icon 2.5 remote reservoir coilovers on it and they are waaay better than stock. I was just out in Johnson Valley for Thanksgiving and still found myself bottoming out and not taking whoops well. I’ve been looking for options and I want something functional I’m not looking for a mall crawler. I’ve looked into vasher designs, Baja kits, wicked creations, and APG which sounds a little out of my price range any suggestions or comments

Ranger Raptor is slightly wider and interchangeable, Bigmeats went to BRaptor arms on his. More involved. It will be some cash to get wider.

I appreciate it

With 5000 lb + desert high speed id budget between $5 & 10K per competition grade damper and rebuilds every 5000 miles at least to get close to what you want......it's just so much weight at speed to manage and even if you do then you'll run into structural failure issues so add another $15K for structural reinforcement before it bends or twists.​

​

Might be better just to get SXS.for the thrill.​

Bilstein 8112's are recognized as THE high speed/whoops/etc. upgrade, the con being they limit lift, tire size, etc...

This is my first “full size” off road car I have 3 kids and figured it might be easier to fit than my RZR but unfortunately the ride isn’t the same. I appreciate the input

Trade for a ranger raptor? Bronco Raptor would be even better.

APGs long travel is pretty nice…..I’m not sure I would have it if it wasn’t for an incredible Black Friday sale they had a few years ago. At full price it is significantly higher than all the other long arms setups. I honestly don’t even know what their situation is with the advance law suit going on. They have been really quiet and all their products have basically disappeared from their website.

I noticed that! Kinda odd. What suspension setup are you running from them a mid-travel or long travel or pro runner?

The bolt on 3.5” long travel w/ kings.

I’ve been working on a custom long travel setup with Vasher. We’re finalizing the last of the little details and my parts will start shipping soon. 18” of front travel and 22” of rear travel. APG who?

No looming lawsuits either…

Yeah that's gonna be hard to do. Plenty of good solutions. None of them cheap. Even a SXS is gonna run you a good chunk of cash. And the cost of not doing it right and just sending it is likely to be even higher in repair bills (and maybe hospital bills).

Gotta pay to play unfortunately.

Going trade in for high speed stuff a full sized Raptor will likely be the least expensive option - can go back a few years and get them under $40k easily and I’ve heard of some folks finding them for much less

Depending on the condition of your W/T may be able to break about even on price, you’ll get a bigger interior and more powerful powertrain, but more age and miles on it
