Hello,
Going Long travel for the first time, and I could use plenty of advice! I love to go fast, and want a smoother ride for the many, many miles I cover on trails. Plus, I rock crawl a bit. Looking for a proper RELIABLE build, without going crazy on price.
Is there a best kit for long travel shy of spending over 20K?
is there anything better than Baja Kits for the money? APG looks crazy expensive.
Is there a preferred shock for the application described above?
If reliability is paramount, anything else I should install, considering I won't be pushing too hard when going remote?
Can I tow a 3,200 lb. trailer with 500 lb. tongue weight with trailer sway kit using a long travel suspension setup?
Thanks everyone!

Not sure if it is long travel or not, but I am looking at the ADS(Arizona Desert Shocks) full suspension as my upgrade. Proven race technology that is great for on road, high speed and rock crawling. I pull a Nu Camp Tab 320 Boondock that loaded is right at 3000 lbs. They have a sale right now for a complete suspension, that comes in at $10 K. There are lots of different options to choose from, for sure
