    Why? Just get longer shocks. The stock ones are long enough to work well for now until you want to upgrade shocks. The rear isn't going to destroy your shocks.

    None of you are going to need this either, unless you just have to have something different. If you have a long travel ifs and bomb the dunes or severely rutted fire roads, then they would be a good idea. Wheeling at the flats or kpoint is not going to pull your shocks apart.

    Cliff notes:. Stop reading stuff on the internet and thinking it applies to you.

    true. I'm not too knowledgeable about this stuff and I was worried that my shock would blow since I only have around 2" of downtravel before my shock is fully extended.

    this is all good stuff though, and pretty much how I learn about my truck. also, thanks for the link Miles, ordered 4 straps and should be here by Tuesday :anonymous: LOL

    If you are going to add straps, take into consideration that straps will stretch over time (usually 1") if you constantly use them.
