Limit Straps

[discobird]

Hi Folks ,

I will be installing a 2" RTE Lift on my 04 DiscoII with the Bilstein 7100 Series shocks. I was wondering if any of you know where I can purchase limit straps for the front springs?


Thanks....

What travel are the front shocks?

The front shocks are Bilstein AK7110SB06 10", and the rears are AK7112SB06 12".

im not too sure you are going to need them with the short body 10" in the front. If you check the measurements of the OMEs they are pretty similar and i dont know of anyone running limit straps with OME shocks on a DII.

Hi Nick,

I will be running RTE Springs (RR4-1. RR1-2) with the Slickrock Quick Disconnects. I will also be moving the orginal front sway bar drop arms to the rear. With this setup, I've been told that I could unseat the front springs.

Your front drive shaft is going to bottom on the frame crossmember before you lose a spring.

The kit includes crossmember spacers. Basically, I went with RTE's 3" Lift kit except I'm getting 2" springs. I didn't want to deal with the driveline issues at this time and a new set of tires (Currently have Firestone Dest MT 245/75R16).

Looks like you're in the same boat I'm in. although you've takena d ifferent approach nstead of retaining or cones. For some reason, I don't like the thought of limit straps, what about longer bump stops to do the same thing?

Doesn't scorpion make upper retainers for the fronts?

edit n/m, they were for the lowers.

Hi Folks,

Are any of you using limit starps on you DiscoII front springs? If so, could you please post some pictures of the installation?

Thanks,
