Has anyone measured the maximum up travel and down travel of the front suspension with springs removed? I haven't found any numbers online, and I haven't torn my truck apart yet...

I'd like to know if stock ride height is 50/50 up/down travel?

On my SR5, the control arms and CV shafts are angled down a few degrees at stock ride height. It looks to me like a small factory lift, about 1"? Given the angle of the control arm and CV shaft, my gut says the suspension has potentially more up travel than down travel. I don't see any hard limit to suspension travel, so I'm guessing the shock absorber is the limiting factor?
