Front wheel travel Increse?

Wondering if anybody knows for sure if a control arm and a new shock increase wheel travel in the front like the Gen 1 did?

My question is a general one. Does any control arm/ shock combination increase travel on the Gen 2's like most of the Gen 1's do? My truck should be here in a about 2 weeks and am wanting to get the most bang for my buck.

Yes some shocks and UCA / LCA will give you more travel

Just curious how you know this? Have you measured it? If so which combination do increase travel, so I can order them?

RPG isn't claiming more travel with the upper control arm?

The Bolt kit is a full replacement upper control arm lower and upright.

I know there are dozens of kits that can increase wheel travel, HM, SVC, RPG, brenthal, blitzkrieg, ect.

My question is does an upper control arm and a new shock increase travel on the Gen 2 and if so which combination does?

"CAMBURG"

Replacing the stock ball-joint with a uni-ball bearing we're able to gain wheel travel with a part that is considerably stronger and will last longer under extreme conditions. We build more caster and change the camber curve to correct geometry so the vehicle aligns correctly and improves driving characteristics and handling. We also maximize useable wheel travel by using a uniball that has more mis-alignment than the factory ball-joint.

Ok so stupid question here, but the "BOLT" kit will increase front suspension travel to 16.5" but how much does it increase width? Been thinking about going this route but need to know if I'm going to have to run glass up front. TIA
