Suspension travel =the amount of bump (compression) the shock has before it bottoms out. Unless you are using a lot of spring or ride on silky roads, you are going to want more than 2". The old rule of thumb 2" is really more geared towards true, single purpose track cars. In fact, formula cars often work on less than 1" of bump travel these days since most have a dedicated spring for aero load. I have run up close to 3" on BIG bumps with 1000lb springs for reference.
