    Hey guys, this is my first official post on tacomaworld!
    Well, I just finished installing Icon UCA's and King 2.5 extended travel coil-overs on my 03 taco. The test run at the Oceano Dunes went very well so far. I am just wondering if I should install limit straps to save wear and tear on the coil-overs. I have heard different opinions about limit straps, but nothing to convince me to use them or not to use them.

    Little bit of everything I guess. I really enjoy the high speed dirt road stuff mixed with light crawling, dunes on occasion.
    Im just wondering if limit straps help when the suspension is at full droop.

    Limit straps are a great idea, I have some on my mid travel in all 4 corners as added protection from the shocks topping out and damaging internals.

    Yea you need to limit the ext version of the kings. they take out the spacers to get the extra travel. So it will slam the shock shaft if they fully extend.

    Also get your kings revalved for high speed stuff, they will be a little stiff on the road but handle amazing. and take your sway bar off..

    Having a stock sway bar on your truck is making all the money you invested on the new parts go to waste.
