That measurement means not much.. Tire size and how the shocks are set up/angled can make big differences also. Its doesnt take much more travel shock to make alot more flex. Stock is what 8" travel. Most lifts are 10.some long travel at 12. Most custom are 14 and 16. I could try and pull up some pics for better reference.
