I don't understand your question or why you would need to measure the distance between spring perches when you let it drop without the shocks connected. What are you trying to figure out?
Pulling the shocks & dropping the suspension doesn't give a meaningful measurement in any way, so I'm still not sure what you're going for. Good luck with whatever it is you're trying to figure out though.
One reason to look at these measurements is to see if there is an available shock that matches the spring travel better than others. It's one of the things we are doing with an outboard when the shock mounts get repositioned to be in phase with the spring travel.
Do rubber bushings limit travel or will they tear if they are made to exceed their normal range of motion?
Front is about 9" at bump, and about 21-22" when the lower control arm binds against the axle mount.
The Currie 4" closely matches this.

Are you a manual?
I didn’t get that much droop before the front DS hit the auto trans skid.
5 speed, yes. And I also haven't built these travels on anything with stock skids.
Any skid that utilizes the factory nutserts for an auto will have the same problem without clearancing it
