Fork travel is 2.5" at least what i measured is. I’m pretty sure I got it right. Think for now I’ll just keep cranking on this bike for a few more months and make a trip to a couple of bike shops in Richmond later. By then I can check out a few of their bikes and determine if I need to upgrade. I hope to increase the intensity of my riding. The trails are the most fun for me especially the down hill part when I feel like one screw up will send me flying through the trees. Thanks to everyone for being so helpful.
