Same travel as stock. Its a typical suspension lift, allows use of bigger tires and has more ground clearence.

I just talked to the JMR guys and they were saying there was about 10 inches of travel both in the front and rear

I don't know what the stock travel is, but that sounds about right. The kit uses the original springs both front and rear, so it's just as stiff. The only thing that would give it more travel, possibly, is if the bumpstops hindered travel before the lift. removing the swaybar will give independent travel in the front, but still a stiff ride.

hahahaha that kit from alaska id the www.airbagit.com kit. should work but FORGET THIS WITH 4x4. i am using 2.5'' leveling kit and this is around 3'' i really hope this guy offer a solution for the CV shaft or they will explode!!ant the stering rack will be shut really quick and the tie rod too...forget that junk trust me... Wait for projektdirtfab if you want long travel...and JMR for tires clearance with a little less travel.
