I once travelled 3000 miles in two weeks in a stock 110.

You don't have a stock 110 so not sure what you're asking ?
The limiting factors on the rear of a 110 are normally the length of the shock absorbers, the weight of the vehicle (effects the "starting" point), the A frame ball joint and the radius arms and bushes. In "stock" trim they have a pretty decent amount of travel, not sure you'll find a measurement as such, if that's what you're looking for, because there are too many variables around individual vehicles and the circumstances. The theoretical limit is around 20mm past the bump stop upwards and the length of the shock absorbers downwards but it's rare it's as simple as that. http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/ |

Appreciate the effort, but suspension travel is an automotive industry standardized engineering measurement. It doesn't "depend". It's like "turning radius" or "minimum ground clearance". There are formal and established ways of doing these measurements such that objective comparisons can be made between models. If I recall correctly, it must be measured at the center of the hub and correspond only to the vertical delta between full droop and bump stop. I also believe this measurement must be conducted with the vehicle in a static position such that the three non-measured wheels reside in a plane parallel to the ground. I'm not a practicing suspension engineer though, so I'm not 100% certain.
No worries. I'll contact LR. Thanks for trying to help. |

Surely the above comments do hold true though.
Your shocks aren't standard so you're travel figure will be different (no matter how small) to that of a bone stock Defender. Are you running a standard A-Frame ball joint or one with slightly more flex? Perhaps both myself and the above posters have misinterpreted your question, but your travel will be different to whatever LR tell you. No matter how small? |

Having re-read your last bit, are you after the calculation? Not the figure?
That may make the question make a bit more sense? |

I added the comments about my own vehicle as secondary information in the event somebody knew the actual answer for the first and only question posed. The question posed was relative to a stock vehicle. In the event that someone answered the first question, then I was open to conjecture about how mine might perform relative to the stock vehicle. I agree that I didn't provide sufficient context for giving my own specifications. The first post was rushed and I didn't compose it adequately. Apologies for the lack of clarity.

That is a very impressive number. One of these days I'll measure mine.
