Yup, the Quadradeuce is one heck of a machine!!!! What a wonderful engineering exercise!!!! Got to see the car in person and wasted about 3 hours just studying it!!!
Anyway, I've done some playing with all wheel drive stuff for the street, one was a slammed Bronco, bags with travel limiters all around.... Took a bit of work, but it handles like a dang slot car now!!!! A real blast to drive...anyway, going off my (weak) memory, had about 4" of travel in the front and 5" in the rear...Big thing was to get the right shocks and sway bars, but the effort was really worth it....Oh yeah, and it's powered by a 501 BBF with a C6--lots of fun!
Another thing we learned with a bagged 4WD, for some reason the truck works better with the top of the shocks in about 15 degrees as viewed from the rear. Tried them at the usual wider angle first but had a tough time planting the tires in a turn....Straightening up the shocks a bit and getting the travel in the "sweet spot" of the shock really helped!!!!
Have fun with the project!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
