Default 4x4 long travel?

I have an 06 lariat 4x4 with a 6" rcd and 35s. I want to get a new lift to make it more offroad capable, i keep breaking stuff. I can't find any long travel or mid travel kits. What do you guys suggest? thanks

Camburg makes really good stuff, but i just looked. I think their 2 kits for 2wd trucks. Rize makes a great lift kit as well if youre willing to pay a little extra for it. Ive nothing but good about BDS as well

Thats his problem, if he specfically wants a prerunner kit, they only come in 2wd to my knowledge. But those long travel suspensions are really meant for like baja. For serious offroading, Id just go with the RIZE 8" kit with the coilovers and tuck some 37"s underneath

i'm just looking to hit some bumps harder than i normally would. And i'd like to be able to do some crawling stuff i've done before that requires a lot of suspension travel, but i didn't find out until after i did it that it beats the crap out of my ball joints and tie rods...

They make 4wd LT suspension kits but they are expensive as S#?*! $8k for the one I saw but the 4wd kits are far and few between.

Edit: Oh wow they aren't as expensive as I remember just about $3K w/o shocks

Look into the camburg performance coilovers. If you want more travel then you will have to pay at least 4 times as much
