    Who needs limit straps, dual purpose brake lines are way cheaper.

    Yeah, I have never been a fan of his shock setup. I just don't get why he did it that way

    the coilovers are set up as coil carriers, so the bypass is doing all the work. He has the bypasses set very progressive so the last tube is very stiff. It took a hit this hard to realize that when all the fluid hit that last tube all at the same tame and had no where to go, boom hydrolock and goodbye shafts

    I'm assuming his air bumps are at the axle? It's unlikely but possible that he either wasn't running any bumps (scary when airing the truck) or the shocks were positioned to bottom out before the bumps did.

    Ahh that makes sense. Can't imagine the noise that made on impact.

    this reminds me of the argument someone had that if you have a properly tuned bypass then you do not need bump stops, but then what if this happens? Im sticking with my bump stops :D
