[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 427006, member: 1780"] Why do you say you need shorter limit straps on the ones you have on the outsides? Lots of people's opinions vary, but my opinion of if you are running limit straps on the sides, they need to pull tight, as your shocks are at full droop, limiting your shocks themselves from pulling apart when one side is at full droop...Any shorter, then you limit your down travel less than what your shock is capable of, and why would you want to do that? but if they are too long, longer than shock travel lets each side droop, then yes they need to be shortened. As for center limit strap, I run one on my rear end that will only let the rear end droop about 2-3 inches from ride height in the center before it pulls tight. I use my winch on the front to suck the front end down and currently ride with it pretty tight. I run no side limit straps. Honestly, all that **** is not as big of a deal on a crawl machine as it would be on a bouncer. But I remember your rear shocks are mounted to where a lot of shaft is showing at ride height, which means it wouldn't take as much to max out their travel and possibly pull them apart. I also don't run bumps on my rear end. I would say before you go through all this trouble fabbing up bumps and whatnot for your rear end, you need to redo the shock mounts. Get them right, then you may not even need bumps in the rear. [/QUOTE]
