To find the total travel of the prospective mounting point, the bags were raised to max pressure so the arm was up against its upper bumpstop. A measurement was taken from the same stationary point on the frame to the same target mounting point on the control arm. This point measured 8 3/4 inches, not bad for their second try. The two measurements gave them the desired travel (8 3/4 - 5 1/2 = 3 1/4 inches).
