Stock suspension travel on a 1969 Chevy K10 4x4?

I don't need any this.this.this.this x this. Just a general distance of travel from "bottomed out" to "hanging"

Simple redneck mud truck. Big engine, big tires, tube frame around the cab and fenders. You know the drill

Thanks for the support, man So uh, what's the distance to bottom out? I thought about it last night in bed and that info would actually be all I need, I wasn't using my head

Re: Stock suspension travel on a 1969 Chevy K10 4x4?

Thanks alot, reason for asking is i don't have the whole front and rear axel/leaf spring/suspension assembly on the truck currently, and needed some ball park estimates. Thanks for the help
