M1097 Wheel Travel

I'm looking for the following dimensional data for the stock M1097A2 without the TAK-4 upgrade. Can anyone help? I need this information to check an engineering project to see if I'm anywhere close.

I do not have access to ANY HMMWVs so I can't take these measurements myself. I've looked in TM 9-2320-280-20-2 and can't find any measurements, just the change-out procedures (funny how the TM for the Willy's MB specifies shock lengths). I've searched online for this information, but if it's out there I'm unable to find it.

front wheel travel (bump-stop to airborne)
front shock curb-weight compressed length
rear wheel travel (bump-stop to airborne)
rear shock curb-weight compressed length

Thanks,
homebrew

After more dogged searching, it seems that the M1097 variants all use the same shocks, and an ebay listing claims the shocks on the M1097 are the same front and rear, so shortened list of measurements needed as follows (note rear shock curb compressed remains on list as I'm certain different spring rates will affect this):

front wheel travel (bump-stop to airborne)
front shock fully extended length
front shock fully compressed length
front shock curb-weight compressed length
rear wheel travel (bump-stop to airborne)
rear shock curb-weight compressed length

LOL!!! And FINALLY, I found a PN, contacted Tenneco, and they tell me front and rear measurements are 324mm-418.6mm, although they have different damping factors.

So the list is now shortened to four things:
front wheel travel
front shock curb-compressed length
rear wheel travel
rear shock curb-compressed length
