Definitely not a stock 2cv, but the stock 2cv has as much (if not a bit more) suspension travel than a Ford Raptor, which makes this possible.
And if you want the short version:

A friend of mine took me for a ride in his DS and it was simply amazing how well the air suspension worked. He took speed bumps at 40 and drove off 10” curbs with seemingly no effect to the car.

You may also find this of interest. It is just common sense stuff f o r 2CV A r c t i c r a i d s i n L a p land , but interesting nonetheless:

Thanks for the link.
I’ve been on a general 2cv kick lately, but the relation to the Bajaab is relevant. I know the Baja cars were lightened by about 200lbs. and suspension substantially reinforced. I probably won’t be going the whole 9 yards because I won’t actually be racing anywhere, but some of the interior and sound deadening will be coming out to save a few pounds.

Found the complete electronic version of
Ici commence l’aventure,
both in French and English - which means

able to look at what Citroën used to recommend for the Visa, GS and CX
t

o
.
Obviously those upgrades are not a t a l l as thorough as the ones they show for the A cars (2CV, Dyane, Méhari, Ami, etc) but worth a look:
http://www.ckc.dk/pubs/IciCommencelAventure.pdf
The same p a g e
http://www.ckc.dk/cgi/catlist?eng
has
tons
of digitalised manuals, part lists, booklets and assorted literature for all kinds of Citroën machinery (even vintage types: for example, a maintenance manual and parts list for the Kégresse halftrack assemblies.
)
Y ou have been warned.
