what does "lengths" mean? and is "we were" a appositive clause of "lengths"?

Question

Nearly five million people lost their homes in the Great Recession, and even more of us sobered up about the lengths we were willing to go -- or be tricked into going, in many predatory cases --to hold that deed

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Lengths here encapsulates a great extent ( of effort, sacrifices, extremes, etc)

Jay from earththe lengths we were willing to go

~ the amount of sacrifice that we were willing to make
~ the amount of work that we were willing to do
~ the amount of effort that we were willing to expend
~ the amount of money that we were willing to spend

"we were" has nothing to do with appositives. It's part of a relative clause modifying 'lengths'. 'that' is implied.
