Limit straps are vital in custom suspension setups helping to prevent damage to suspension and drivetrain components. Without limit straps, the force of your vehicle’s unsprung weight can cause damage to shocks when jumping or at high speeds over rough sections. Limit straps can also prevent damage to your CV joints.
How much do limiting straps stretch?
Limit straps are designed to stretch about 5 to 10 percent of their total lengths. The shocks should never be allowed to “top out” metal-to-metal, so adjust the threaded upper clevis a little on the tight side.
Are limit straps worth it?
Limit straps can prevent over extension and topping out of your shocks. But you still might be wondering; are limit straps really necessary? The short answer is YES!

Do I need limit straps on my RZR?
Limiting straps are vital in custom suspension setups that help prevent damage to suspension and drive train components. Without limiting straps, your shocks are the stops at maximum droop. All CV joints have a maximum amount of degree deflection that they can safely be run at with custom suspension setups.
Is it bad to loosen your limiter strap?
A loose strap will lighten the front end and help it get up on the snow. If you have the front skid mount in the bottom hole, I’d leave the limiter in the middle. However, if you put the mount in the top hole for less trenching, it’ll make the front end heavy. So, loosen the limiter to lighten the front.

Why should you avoid riding on ice?
Riding on the frozen surface of water should be avoided due to the risk of death from falling into freezing water.
