thought I read somewhere that the travel on the '02 was 8". Planning on doing the T/S lift, so I'm wondering if this "cycling" of the suspension to get the lift is reducing the travel.

 

To my way of thinking, if you increase the ride height, don't you also increase the suspension travel due to the added height?

 

You should get MORE height because on compression at OEM you are only a short distance, however if you lenthen the bump stops from the control arm you will get more. On the down side, you can only go as far as your shocks, brake lines, and metal will allow and that distance should be the same regardless as far as inchs.

With that said, regardless you will have more with a T/S lift over OEM height.
