Has anyone tested Trailhunter IFS travel?

Trying to nail down actual up/down suspension travel numbers on the Trailhunter in stock configuration before I start modifying anything. I've dug through what's out there but haven't found anyone who's put a tape measure to it properly — droop and compression numbers and total travel.

One thing that makes this harder to DIY: unlike previous gen Tacoma configurations, the Trailhunter doesn't have external bump stops. That means to actually measure true wheel travel, you'd need to pull the front spring and cycle the suspension — not something I'm in a position to do right now, also not sure if there is an easier method. So I'm hoping someone here has already done the legwork or has data from a teardown.

My end goal is a 1–1.5" lift for the leveled look and extra clearance, but I want to understand the real-world trade-off in droop before committing to anything.

Thanks in advance — appreciate any data points people can share.

Also factor payload onto this…. Car and Driver did an RTI flex test and the Trailhunter scored 532, edging the TRD Pro at 520 — making it pretty much the top pickup with IFS for articulation. IDK the answer but I think I just looked at a TH build thread here where the dude had the front wheel off changing springs literally ready to put the front wheel through a full cycle….
