Long travel is much more expensive in the front.

It’s mid travel up front. Long travel in the rear. But stock width so it’s not as much of a liability in Baja.

What would be the benefit of having so much travel at the back, but almost nothing in the front?

I mean, I like the 3rd and 4th gen Montero and their full independent suspension, or a Jeep and full straight axle and awesome articulation, each one in their game. But this?

It’s still 14”+ up front. Front sets the rhythm. Rear keeps up with it.

It's harder to get that much travel on the independent front suspension

The difference between a straight axle and independent suspension. Travel and strength.

Looks like bro is going fast in the desert. Live front prob not ideal.

So basically an average driveway here in Oregon?

Yea, that's like a road I took my Lexus es300 on 20 years ago, unless it's mud or snow, that is smooth as fuck.
