Long travel or not?

[Gtrekker]

Ok so I have a killer Bronco already with an Icon Stage 8 suspension running 37s steering rack upgrades, tie rods etc and I run hard offroad rock crawling trails from CA, UT and fast desert in Baja. The Stage 8 has been amazing especially in Baja but I cant help thinking I can get more and by more I mean more travel, wider and ability to go faster in the desert and eat whoops.

so I’m considering a long travel kit say on the level of APG (not a pro-runner budget ), Baja kits etc… but looking at all options and suggestions and if I can use any existing suspension to minimize cost is a bonus. Not interested in portals…

On the other hand I'm not sure the cost justifies the incremental improvements from where I'm already at.

Appreciate your suggestions. Thanks

thats awesome. Hope you love it. Running wide open is the most fun to me and having the CA and Mexico desert near me is great. My Icons give me 11.5" front / 14” rear wheel travel now but without widening the track width. I think a long travel kit may extend that a bit I think but not sure. I’m always looking for more ability though. I am buying the ADV 5” fenders and liners to match my hood so should be good on clearance as I'm already running limiting collars on the icons. If I go long travel i will likely run bump stops.

I would think you can change springs on the icons if needed. I would give them a call and explore the options.

for sure. I need to make a bunch of calls to ask a bunch of questions.

The Camburg team makes nice stuff. I had their LT kit on my old Ranger. Back when putting on a bolt-on LT kit was pretty exotic. Most LT setups at the time were fab shop created. Everything went on easy and the geometry was pretty dialed.

If I was looking for a kit for my Bronco, I wouldn’t hesitate to go Camburg.

Eye candy pic I took of the Canburg long arm kit in TN. Cleanest looking long arm setup at that show.

I’ve booked a few discounted business class trips through https://travelbusinessclass.com and was surprised by how much they trimmed off the published fares. Their advisors pulled up options I couldn’t find on my own, and the 24/7 support came in handy when my connection got messy. If you’re trying to keep premium travel costs in check, it’s worth a look.
