quick suspension question

with the springs and shocks out if you take a measurement from the top and bottom of the suspension travel....would ride height be right around the mid point? just as a rule of thumb....

Generally, someplace around the middle of travel. I usually play with the spring rates to keep the ride height in the center, the less stroke on the shock the more critical the length of the shock and it's position in travel at ride height....
