Solid Axle vs Long travel

I know the differences but I don't know which one I want to do. I like moving fast just as much as I do crawling over rocks. For those who went long travel, do you ever wish you had gone SAS? And vice versa.. For those who haven't and are going to do SAS or LT, why are you going with that one?

 

3 link the front with coilovers and air bumps and you can do it all!

 

I've heard of 3 link and 4 link, Is there a big difference?

 

For me it came down to how much rock crawling I had planned to do. I was initially set o a SAS to be honest. What made my decision was we did Pritchett in Moab in our crawler (we already have a SAS pickup) and I decided I wasn't going to do anything at that level with mine.

Plus I did more research. LT technology has vastly improved lately and IMO seems like things are trending towards it. I've gone slow for years and want to try something faster. But I still plan on rock crawling too, just not solid cake required stuff haha. I feel like I'll get the best of both worlds. Plus I won't have to trailer it all the time either lol

 

Yes, pretty big differences.

There's a lot more to building a truck than what holds your front tires on the truck. If solid axle can't go fast what is King of the Hammers?
