Default Need pictures of limit strap setups please

I'm looking to put limit straps on my jeep because I like to do a lot of desert running. I know teraflex puts them on there setup, but I can't find any pictures how and where they mount them. I'm thinking of bolting one end where the shock mounts to the axle and welding the other side to the frame somewhere, I know the truck guys like to keep them away from the shocks though. Thanks for any advise!

just out of curiosity, is it that you have shocks that are so long that they are now having issues with your coils coming unseated and/or allowing enough travel to cause your driveshaft to bind? if not, i don't think you will need limiting straps.

I ran a hard weekend on my dirt logics including putting some air between my tires and the dirt and I didnt have any issues, granted limit straps would be nice to keep from worrying about hyperextending the shocks I would think. Why not just try and purchase the teraflex setup minus the kit?

I haven't had any coils unseat or problems so far. I want to stay on the safe side though and would rather the straps stop my travel then anything els. Might just be paranoid. Plus they look cool, lol.

I can't find on there sight anything about them except in the prerun kit. I would prefer there stuff, it works well, great customer service, and my jeep is already a Teraflex whore.

O ya, and I had to make the widest possible front bump stop pad because when I was fully flexed the front TF speed bump would miss or come off the pad. So if I limit strap it up slightly then no more worrys was my thinking.
