Heavy-duty, 4 layer limit straps designed for the rigors of off-road.
Limit straps are vital in custom suspension setups helping to prevent damage to suspension and drivetrain components. Without limit straps, the force of your vehicles unsprung weight can cause damage to shocks when jumping or at high speeds over rough sections.
Limit straps can also prevent damage to your CV joints. All CV joints have a maximum amount of degree of deflection at which they can safely be run. With custom suspension setups. the deflection angle can go farther than the CV joint can handle, resulting in damage, shorter run life, and CV failure. Limit straps can prevent this by reducing the amount of maximum angle on your axles.
Every PRP limit strap is sewn 4 layers thick with 10,000lb webbing. Available in 1 increments from 6 to 38 to fit your specific application. Measured from the center of each hole.
Sold individually.
HOW TO MEASURE WHAT LIMIT STRAP LENGTH YOU NEED
Figure out your mounting points You must weld on mounting locations on both your chassis and your suspension. If you do not want to weld on your chassis, you could use longer shock bolts and spacers to mount your limit straps. However, this adds leverage and stress to a longer shock bolt, and is not ideal for that reason. For some UTVs, PRP sells a limit strap kit that includes longer shock bolts and spacers so the strap will clear the shock body (See PRPs UTV Limit Strap Kits).Most off-road shops sell weld-on tabs for limit straps that you can use to create a mounting point. We also highly recommend using an Adjustable Limit Strap Clevis (see below for more info). *You need to have these mounting points set, before you can measure what length strap you need.
Use a jack to raise the vehicle up, so that the wheels are off the ground This allows your wheels and shocks to be at full droop (when the shocks are fully extended to their limit).
Measure the distance between your two mounting points This is the maximum limit where your shocks will still be fully extended (and can cause damage over time). Lets call this measurement X,
Take your X measurement, and minus 1 of length for every 12 of strap. This is the corrected length that you actually need to order.
Check to see if your CVs are Binding After you measured, also check to see if youre CV joints are binding. This can occur a lot of times on vehicles with long travel, where the shocks allow the wheels to travel a lot farther down, creating a extreme angle for the Axles/CVs that cause it to bind.
HOW ADJUSTABLE CLEVISS WORK
Over time, the combined weight of the wheels/tires/arms pulling on the limit strap causes them to stretch (typically 1 of stretch for every 12 of strap). Because of this, most customers measure and adjust for that stretch when they purchase a strap (24 measurement needs a 22 strap to compensate for stretch). Which means that when the strap is new, it will be limiting travel by an extra amount (2) then as the strap stretches over time, that number will decrease, and come closer to the ideal limiting measurement (23.5-24).
With an adjustable clevis, you have the ability to fine tune that measurement. Limiting the travel just enough to protect your shocks and CVs, with out having to also limit travel by an extra amount. As the strap stretches out, simply adjust the clevis to re-tighten the strap. Keeping it at the optimal length to prevent damage to the shocks, or binding the CVs.
Adjustable Cleviss are also set up to be able to hold multiple limit straps (PRPs can hold 1, 2, or 3 limit straps). Which is needed for heavier vehicles that have more weight with larger tires and arms (such as Ultra4, Trophy Lite, and Trophy Trucks)
How to Measure a Limit Strap that is going to be used with an Adjustable Clevis Make sure that the clevis is fully extended while you measure your X length.
