How do measure your wheel travel properly ? From the ground to the bottom of the tire at full
Flex ?

Measuring uptraveling

Vertical travel is the distance measured from your bump stop pad on your axle up to the rubber jounce stop attached to your frame. This measurement should be taken with the axle horizontal to the ground and frame, NOT flexed out. With your Jeep on the ground, this distance would be the amount of uptravel you have. To find out your total vertical travel, raise your Jeep up and set the frame rails on jack stands. Remove your wheels and lower your axle until it's hanging - take another measurement and that's what you have total. :yup:

Thanks Eddie ! How does Rubicat measure up ?
Depends on how loaded up we are. The last time I checked, it was around 4.5"-5" up front and rear. Front total 12" and rear total 11.25"

That's bad ass. . So do long arms effect the actually travel ? Or just correct geometry and make it more comfortable
Long arms just correct geometry, make your ride a lot more comfortable and help your axle to travel more correctly.

That's what I thought. Thanks
