I don't know what type of off roading you do, but I'm sure you know what's best for you.

As for long travel suspension this reflects stock configuration.

Yes, I do know what is best for the kind of off roading I do. Hence the reason why I said it and why I also said everyone's off roading is different. If you are not looking to do any technical rock crawling and most of your off roading is above 25 mph then IFS is the way to go especially if it is also going to be used as a daily that you want the utmost comfort on.

However, if most of your off roading is rock crawling at speeds less than 10 mph and you want something that can handle more weight and abuse, then SFA is the way to go. There are many people that daily SFA's (like many Ford SD and Ram HD owners) with no issues, but I understand that there are some out there that are willing to sacrifice slow speed off roading capability and robustness for more comfort.

Neither the standard 7.8" front travel nor the 10" on the Badlands version is a long travel suspension. You would likely have to spend around $15k or more to make it a long travel suspension that would get you in the ballpark of maybe between 15-20 inches of travel. On the flip side, and SFA can go up to around 30 inches of travel with a $3,500 kit and a fender kit that will cost you between $300-700 depending on the brand.
