Flex vs. traction and limiting straps

[xj4rocks]

Topic of the thread, look behind the shock for how I do it.

Thanks wes I was looking for ideas other than limiting straps. I guess i should have been more clear. I pulled the 11" shocks right out the of the fender, so I got some longer ones.

my straps are inside the coils, attached to the axle and to the bumpstop post. i use cone machined from steel that has a stud that screws into the post and sandwiches the strap mounting tab in place. i've used this set up for over 4 years all because i wanted to keep the coils in no matter what, they always are guided back into place. i agree with carpenter, i have recently limited some of my wheel travel for stability reasons.
