Not sure if anyone on here knows if they bothered to take the time and find out. I am curious as to why you want to know?

I've got a set of naked fronts in my garage, will take a tape measure to one of them later today.

im curious to see if 5100s do actually offer a bit more travel. i know on a tacoma you gain about a 1/2”, so in curious if the same is true for rangers.

As long as you are lifting the front you will gain travel. Just be aware that even with the factory coil spring you will be limited on your compression.

And as you already know he's not using a spacer he will be using Bilstein shocks. Your comment was very pointless
Wow. Okay... I was speaking in more general terms than to the OP's situation. You know, just in case something crazy happens like other people read this.
