I cycled it with no spring and let the air out of the shock. Squared from the ground 90 degrees up. Posted a mark at full compression and then at full droop. Almost dead nuts 8".
I know that a shocks overall i2i isn't the amount of travel, It's based on stroke and pivot geometry.
I didn't have to drill out the rear triangle hole, just went with a f-911 bolt for strength. Thats grade 11, available at bolts 4 u in Vista california.
My bad. Appologies for the misinformation.
I'm still going to lie to my wife about it being 12" though.

you are right, It does seem to be alot of posts.
The reason I posted this answer as new was more of a public appology for those that I led astray on my measurements on the cycling of the suspension. I was wrong and they were right. Just incase they didn't go back and check up on that thread to see new posts, I wanted them to be aware that I was wrong instead of them thinking ill thoughts.
