[QUOTE="Dynamite Design, post: 442711, member: 8415"] [b]Re: Limiting strap tech[/b] Well with limit straps you are buying something that will eventually wear out over a long period of time, and break, and replace if used properly. On a race car the clevis should be used to tune the length of the strap every race until the strap is stretched to the point of useless. On a trail rig this could take a lot of years to happen. The point of a limit strap is mainly to keep the shocks from crashing at full droop. Once the strap is stretched the length of the shock, it may seem like it is still working but in reality, it just grew to the length of the shock that is now crashing simultaniously, but it looks fine to the naked eye because it can't grow any more. You can't tell unless you check it and adjust the height of an adjustable clevis. [/QUOTE]
