I believe he is asking if you have more bump travel than stock.
The answer to that should be yes, if installed properly, the tires will come up right through where the windshield washer tank is/was.

The crossmember doesn't make any difference at all as the lca mounts are still in the same position.
Standard practice is to set full bump so that the lca mounts have clearance from the ground, it won't be bottoming on the crossmember/lca mount.

h&m racing design ford raptor long travel kit (clean post)

I was in vista past 2 weeks and went to RPG and H&m racing design to check the bed cage intall of how to cut off the bed for the bypass shock.
When i was there i checked a raptor with the same kit as mine as well at h&m racing design there was a ecoboost f150 with that kit.
I only need a good upper shock mount at the front.
At h&m racing design only 40 min from my home
To take a look of their upper shock mount that supposed to come with the kit.
At Rpg, is just 50min from my home at vista.

Brenthel long travel install

I installed a rpg bed cage at the rear 18" of travel 3.5" shocks. Upper shock tower use the sides to be bolt on the bump stop frame from rpg.
You dont need to cut stocks shock mounts only bedsides for the shocks.

not true i was speaking for my truck 11 stx 2wd and my front lca mount crossmember is dif that of 4x4 or raptor……….

as for your brenthel kit the upper shock mounts are dumby proof. (no offense i want the 2wd kit for my truck) His kit was totally custom, creating a shit ton of variables in the install process. my question was how he figured his shock mount location in association with bump and droop. i was wondering if his truck sat high because his shock
mounts were closer to the top of the frame rail than others he was comparing to.

H&m provided him with measurements to use for the shock tower construction. You can only go so far before you are into the brake cylinder.
The crossmember is identical on the 2010+ with the exception that the 2wd does not have mounting brackets for the front diff or a skid plate. The lower control arm mounting points are identical in height to the 4wd, and that determines your ground clearance.
I know because I'm currently running the brenthel 2wd uprights up front.
