I'm about to order a set before NAC-Fest. This place seems to have good pricing on 2" straps and will make them to whatever length you need.

I think to make it easy on myself i'm going to order them 1/2" shorter than my Bilstein's total length and mount them alongside with the shock mounting bolts. Make sense?

My shocks are too short to need limiting straps. The shocks are limiting my droop, now, and If I blow one of these cheesey shocks...COOL, because I want to get a set of new LOOOOOOOONGER Bilsteins, anyway.

Does make sense for the rear, but it is not as much to worry about with the leaf springs. Front is definitely more concern as upon launch or being off the ground the coils could loosen up as well.

Yeah that is kinds what I am thinking in the rear. For the front I am thinking of using the sway mounts on the axle since I don't run a sway then makeing up a frame mount

I need some up front.

Bad thing is tho that my shocks bottom out from compression on one side and drop out to max too. So idk what kinda shocks I could run to get more of both lol. Iv already got 3" of bumpstop and my I still need another 3" lol.

Gonna get some straps though.

if you look through 89elimenator's build he came up with a smart idea for the front that I stole. They are adjustable and they only cost me 40 bucks to make two differant sets.
