[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 442869, member: 1997"] [b]Re: Limiting strap tech[/b] I can think of only two reasons to run limit straps. 1 to keep the drive shaft from binding. 2 to keep from pulling the shafts out of the shocks. No need for fancy clevises or complicated mounts. A couple of tabs in double shear can get the job done. I mounted mine using the shock mount bolts, this way uses a longer strap which will stretch more over its length than one half its length. If I were to redo them I would use a shorted strap and mount tabs to the chassis and not use the upper shock bolt. Like others have stated limit your shocks and inch or more shy of full extention to account for stretching. If you do use the upper shock bolts, mount it opposite of mine in the pic. That way you can removed the strap first then droop that extra inch and then completely remove the bolt to remove the shock from the chassis. The spring on the clevis would help keep the slack pulled out of the strap until it was pulled. Similar to the bungee cord.
