I am expecting about 2-3" inch on each side at max.

When it is completed I will mount my camera back there to see the rear do it's thing. With my 200lbs hanging and jumping on one side i see it flex a bit ( I already softened the springs) the springs where on super stiff. However witht te buggys weight and mine combined it should flex those shocks no problem.
