So can I get some super jk freaks to explain to me if HAVING YOUR SHOCKS BE THE LIMITING drop factor ok to have.

 

shock length is almost always the limiting factor and yes, it's fine.

 

There are some people in this local crew that are saying DON'T HAVE YOUR SHOCKS BE THE LIMITING DROOP FACTOR BECAUSE the shock will bust. I thought that having your shock ass the limiting factor was the norm.

 

Wayoflife can you explain to these people why it's ok. Or when you really need limiting straps. These guys are bashing on my comments and I have no firepower

 

Am I wrong or what

 

well, for the most part it's normal. i mean, bind in your bushings will help prevent droop but aside from that, there really isn't a whole lot that would limit your droop even on a stock jeep that is disconnected and yet, people do it safely all the time.

you only really need to use limiting straps if you have so much droop that you start to see problems like drive line bind.

 

if you are unseating your coils at a full droop, your shocks are too long. taller bumpstops are probably being used to help prevent the shocks from bottoming out and, that will ruin them.

 

This is while stuffing right

 

Your shocks should not be bottoming out bad unless they are already shot. The shocks is what's slowing that drop after compression. If the shock is still good then it should always be a nice smooth drop. If you have a heavier duty axle or something with more weight to it then you need new shocks to account for this.

 

well, up travel for sure but more from hitting a bump than slowly stuffing.

as mentioned, this guy sounds like he doing things all the wrong way and i wouldn't take any advise from him.
