Can you go long travel front with mid travel rear?

I have a 2020 TRD offroad DCSB with a go fast camper and want to make it as off road capable as possible without going with a SAS in the front, I'm currently looking at ICON mid travel lift kit with the billet UCA's and debating that over going long travel. I don't plan on prerunning but I am curious as to if I could run a long travel front that will let me keep stock fenders simply for all the articulation and do a mid travel build in the back meanwhile to not have to cut into the bed? Does long travel even help with over landing and or rock crawling or is it's only benefit in extra shock absorption with high energy impacts associated with jumping and going over bumps at high speed?

 

You can run stock fenders with long travel front, just get ready to cut your fenders for the added up travel. For the rear you can do a shock relocation, check out accutune for the full setup.

 

I would stay stock up front and do a good leaf pack with 14 or 16" shocks out back, you will gain way more travel and articulation from doing the rear than adding ~3-4" up front, and going down the Lt high cost wormhole.
My truck is still stock width, and in the rear I have 16" shocks with Chevy 63" leafs. I can flex on a 38" tire, and the truck performs amazing.
My truck will not go anywhere new with Lt up front, as 2-3" more wont get me anywhere it already doesnt go as the body itself has been the limiting factor with trying to keep it dent free.
Im probably $1300 into my whole rear end setup, and my truck will outperform any Lt front/mt rear setup which total, Lt front is around $3-6k depending on what you do.

For whoops its easy/more forgiving to do Lt, unless you spend time shock tuning with Mt.
With my Mt, I can hit most small/moderate sized whoops at 30-50mph just fine, doubted I am using the full 8-9" of travel up front.

 

You certainly can do it, that's exactly what this Tacoma has, GFC and all. Be prepared for big dollars and cut fenders. To do it right you need a whole lot of fab work done to the front end too.

You can also just go MT F&R. To be totally fair, with the questions you asked in your OP, you don't need LT. You don't have a purpose for your truck yet, it seems.

I have zero issues. The truck has even left the ground once, almost twice, and lived to tell the tale.

Also all depends on your environment where your going.
Build to that. My truck would probably suck in the forest of the PNW. Being as wide as it is.

 

sorry to derail this thread but love this rear bumper bud.
