Post Limiting straps

So i was able to play around a little with my flex... noticed that when im fully flexed out in front i can grab my coil spring and shake it freely up and down about 2 inches. although i am very happy with the amount of flex i had, made me somewhat nervous that its flexxing so far the only thing limiting me is my shock...

does anyone run limiting straps?

for the guys that have the same issue, would you be concerned or even call it an issue?

-im on a 4.5" long arm kit

mine does the same thing. i welded a tab to the lower arm then welded a plate to the frame. i drilled and tapped both the plate and the frame. i have had wheels in the air so i know they are strong enough.
