I do a lot of trail riding in my explorer and I have come to realize the fall back of my IFS and it's limited amount of travel. I live in southern Nevada so most of the trails are unmaintained wide open dirt roads, stuff a prerunner would thrive on. However, several times a year I like to head into the more forested/ rocky areas to camp, and there have been a few instances where my friends with Jeeps could cross an obstacle, but I couldn't.
I've been reading up on SAS'd and longtravel trucks and I can't seem to find much on solid axle longtavel, like a Jeep and prerunner had a kid. Should I just go straight long travel like a Dixon Bro's kit and just give up on the rock crawling, or is it possible to still do the desert side of things with a solid axle and leaf springs up front? (Like JeepSpeed)
