[QUOTE="ibrokeit, post: 443173, member: 1801"] [b]Re: Limiting strap tech[/b] You answered your own question. With a nut on BOTH sides of the mount, the spring is not needed. But if you do it that way, there is nothing really stopping the nuts from loosening. If you double nut the top with no spring, it would work, but nothing prevents the clevis from going up vertically then slamming back down on the two nuts when the axle droops. If you double nut the top AND have a spin at bottom, the top nut can't come loose AND the clevis can't go vertical allowing the strap to slam it back down onto the nuts. EDIT. You could also run double nuts on top of mount and under the mount, but that doesn't look near as cool as a spring. laughing1 Personally, I thought ole Dynamightmakehisdeadline Designs described it pretty good.
