FMTV Rear Tire Travel

Hi all. Has anyone ever determined how far the rear tires of an M1083 will travel upward when negotiating terrain? We're designing the habitat for our M1083 and it would be helpful to know how far they can articulate upward from the level position. (Clearance for the box) I've taken some static measurements, and it looks like they can travel roughly 7 to 8 inches before hitting the rubber bump stops, but I'm wondering if that's realistic. Thanks

Kevin
