Default Help on front suspension

Hi
Can anyone tell me how much space there should be between the front suspension bump stop and the lower swinging arm on an 04 2WD 1500 stock (i believe)
Cheers

well, im having issues with the ride quality, it doesn't seem to smooth out the bumps at all, im having all the bushes checked tomorrow but the gap between the bump stop and swinging arm is only about 3/4 of an inch i would have thought that is not right
