Limiting Strap Setups. Requesting Pics/Advice Please
Pretty much what the title says guys. Looking to add some limiting straps to help prevent over extending my shocks and having to pay more in the long run. When i get out i try to flex the Jeep as much as i can. I have been doing some research already and have seem some of the clevis type mounts and i like the idea but an extra $20 per kit i'm looking at $80 just for that not including the straps nor the clevis mounts. So thats why i'm asking for your setups and opinions. Thanks guys.

Although I'm no expert,, it seems fairly simple. Measure your droop to shock bottom,, then bring it up an inch, then pick a spot on your axle and a spot on your frame,, measure that distance and go buy the corresponding limit strap, and install. I say bring it up an inch because limit straps will stretch over time about 1" every 12 inches of strap. Because I'm no expert,, I imagine others will have additional suggestions. Good luck!

This is a cheap kit that would work but as i said just looking for some feedback from the field on whats best.

I have the teraflex straps, not sure of length, I would have to check. They came with my prerunner kit, shocks are 10" stroke and I lose about 1" of stroke which is perfect, also they save my stock drive shafts from over flexing and binding the joints.

I think im gonna be going with that teraflex kit then. Looks easy as i only need to have it welded on at 4 different spots and throw a quick spray of paint over it. Thanks guys now i just need to figure out the shock measurements and go from there.
