What is your DREAM 4x Build?

I want to see what people come up with.

P.S. What bars are recommended for 4x? Length, rise.. What brakes? Is front always necessary?

front is not always necessary some competitions say you have to but they normally dont care as long as you have one working brake, bars are 100% personal preference but to have guide line say 711mm upwards and no more then 50mm rise but as i said total personal preference

Yeah.

Why so much travel up front? And the Absolut is a perfect choice, I think. Lightest out there, no?

LOL @ drilled LG1
Why not a LG1+? That would be lighter than the backplate of the LG1
