yea there are a few companies that make em but they are ridiculously high. How much are you looking at spending so we can give you the appropriate link? $8,000? $15,000? more?

i dont think cheap is even a word with a true trophy truck suspension with a true kit your probably looking at a lot of body pieces too such as fenders and maybe a hood im not 100% on that

There are not a whole bunch of long travel kits off the shelf for an IFS ram. Most of the kits are a one off from various shops. You can buy adjustable control arms from $500-1000. There's a guy on here that makes em, he wanted $500 to do ones for me. You will need UCA and LCA for a long travel as well as spindles, springs, shocks. Over 1k just for the front shocks. Your best bet would to be to get on a forum like pirate 4x4 and build your own. You can make the long arm tubes yourself with a welder and plasma cutter for under $300.

Look up Addictive Desert Designs and email them.

Edit: the guy who makes the control arms is on DT
