    Looking for some limit straps recommendations. 6 INCH bracket ready lift with the Bilstein 8125s (2) coachbuilder lean spacers in driver and 1 on passenger side. CV axels lock up on full droop in 4wd.

    Colton from Hotshot offroad pointed me to the DK straps. Just wanted to see what people were doing for mounting and lengths. Plus does and don'ts or beware of.

    There is a lot going on there, probably be better to reduce droop. Not sure how, maybe ditch the Coachbuilder spacers and if needed install a spacer inside the shock? But if limit straps are the choice, suggest installing them on the back of the lower control arm. Can use the lower shock mount through bolt or weld on a mounting tab. Attach the top to the frame with clevis and mount (link below). The straps will stretch 1” per foot, so factor that in when selecting length. I added a few pics of mine for reference, but it’s a long travel kit, not drop bracket lift.

    Thank you for the mounting recommendations. If I get rid of the spacers then I have sever tundra lean. On driver and rubbed with 37x12.5 now on 38x13.50. Did the spacers vs adding more preload. With the swaybar removed there is obviously more freedom for the droop. Would just like to keep it from terminating the CV Axels.
    I saw that mounting kit thank you. Just very limited info where people were welding it to the frame next to the shock tower.
