What's your long travel setup? Coilovers? Bypasses? Bump stops?

I have the Bajakits LT kit. I kept the 5100's and put the 3" lift eibach coils.

I just ordered the icon extended travel 2.5 coilovers with remote resis and adjustable compression damping. The Kings and fox are on backorder so I went with icon so it should only take a few days.

If there wasn't a backorder I would have went with kings because of the bypasses and bump stops, but all of that is not available I guess.

It looks like the LT kit was made to use oem replacement extended travel coilovers so I'm assuming not to use bigger than a 6" stroke on the bypasses. I've only found kings to have that but since I went with icon I'll stay with digressive pistons so either icon or bilstein. I might go with the bilstein hydraulic bump stops as well.

Here's a setup on the Colorado with coilovers and bypasses.

I'm waiting for Bajakits to release the upper bypass mount for the Ranger.

I'm kinda curious on how much wheel travel you gain with the long travel control arms. Any ideas?
So it was developed with the Kings oem replacement claiming 12" of travel. I wanted like 16, but JT from Bajakits said I would need the arms to be 5" wider instead of 3" wider and 8"-10" stroke shocks instead of the oem replacement "extended travel" shocks. I was like yea that's what I want lol but no one has made the arms 5" wider. My icons just arrived today (less than 24 hours from purchase to at my door from stage 3) and they have a stroke length of 5.25". Idk what the stroke length on the Kings are, but they are both "extended travel" for oem replacements. I should have them in soon and measure the up and down travel. I currently have the 5100's so I haven't even bothered measuring.

Anyone running the Bajakits LT getting any squeaks? I heard it's common, what's your remedy? Dry lube?

I have to spray some dry lube where the shock mounts to the lower control arm to keep it from squeaking. I just keep a spray can of wd40 dry lube in the truck.

I like your Ranger setup. That would be a goal setup for me longterm.
Thanks man it only gets funner lol. It's been quite some work I've put into it and there's more to come. This is my first build so there is a lot of first time things that I'm figuring out.

I cycled 11 inches until the control arms hit the coil bucket, if the coil bucket was trimmed I'm not sure how many more inches before one of the uni balls run out of articulation.
