Take out the torsion bar and you'll get the full travel.

Ok, that gives me some comfort and makes sense -and is the correct way to look at it as you are completely right, all I am doing at this point is taking up vehicle weight, no jounce travel as I am not jouncing it at all.
I actually did as you suggest and everything was smooth right up to the point where the ASP began hitting chassis elements so that is good I guess....
I guess in some perverse way I just need to get on with finishing the blessed car, get the engine done and then just take it for a drive.
Considering this was a full down to the metal rebuild, I sure there will be other issues that will require me taking stuff apart again.
At least it is all new fasteners, properly antisiezed and ought to be not too much hassle....plus I have a lift.
But still curious what the normal travel is supposed to be.....I still am a little shocked by all this, but perhaps in my twilight years I am getting more delicate....
