Suspension limiting straps

[hjdca]

I like the retainer idea. Then I will be all set when/if……when I go bigger with the lift.

I ordered the teraflex rear coil retainers and I will install them with I install the Anti-Rock. This way, I can be sure to use all of my 32" of shock length.

I just installed some 21" limit straps on mine from the old sway bar end link frame mount to the lower end link mount on the antirock axle mount. Installed some falcon shocks and also have the evo longer brake lines. The ABS wire is now the shortest link and the 3" rockkrawler springs unseated from the top without the straps.

I need to look into these coil retainers. Are the for the top of the spring?

I just ordered the Teraflex rear upper and lower kit from Northridge. $70. Sorry no link.

Thanks. I looked into it and watched their install video. The top would definitely work. The bottom would take a longer bolt to go through the rockkrawler lower spring isolators I have on my lift kit.

Seems like most aftermarket companies are using progressive springs and one of the supposed benefits of a progressive spring is have the spring stay in the perch when flexed out. Odd that a loose spring would be a common issue. I would go with spring retainers and brake line extensions to maximize the mods you have done over limiting straps.

A lot of us with the 3.5" lift kits are running the long rear Falcon adjustable shock that has a total length of 32.30". it is a great length and a fantastic shock that can give you a ton of articulation, but, it does bring you to the brink of "looseness" on some 3.5 inch coils... For me, it's worth the extra fiddling and the retainers to get that full 32.30 inches.

Check out the Falcon shock length chart.
