It has about 5 inches of travel. I hope that is enough. I'll investigate a little more when I get home in a few days.

The rebuild kit was about $45. It came with new boots also.

I don't recall what spindles you're using, but if they have a bolt on steering arm, you could make a shorter arm. This would increase steering effort, but also increase travel at the wheel for a given amount of travel from the rack. It will make the steering response quicker too.

I got my door mounted. I used a piano hinge as a hidden door hinge. I had to do a little grinding on the door to make enough space for the hinge. I used a mini bear claw latch.

I debated mounting the door suicide style, but I ended up not doing that. I was afraid that one day the door might pop open going down the road and tear itself off.
