Icon2 long travel suspension ideas

I am trying to decide about some front A-arm long travel kit for my 06 ranger xlt 2wd and i just need some third party help. I can not decide if i want to go with https://truetraveldynamics.com/shop/...ng-travel-kit/ which has 17" of wheel travel and is a little more expensive but the brand is not that well known and I've read that people do have some problems with the brand. My other option is this https://btffabrication.com/collectio...lspring-trucks this kit has 14" of wheel travel and is a few hundred dollars cheaper but it is a more well known brand and much better service, and another thing with it is that i would have to make my own custom shock mounts for it. If anyone has experience or anything with either of these please I would love some more information to help me make my decision. Thank you!

To be completely honest... the true travel kit doesnt look as beefy as the btf's. Thats not to say that the true travel isnt of quality, but if you've heard that people have had issues with them then I wouldn't risk it with the true travel. For about $500 cheaper you have your self a good long travel kit from BTF. If your willing to spend the 3k though, I would go with the blitzkreig kit. My friend has it, and plenty of people have it as well, and have never had a single issue. The base price is about ~$3.5k, but if you wanted to add race hubs and a brake kit, they do offer it. But yeah, I would just stick with well known companies such as blitzkreig and BTF.
