limit Straps

crawler1 · Jul 26, 2010

How much stretch does a set of limit straps have . Im looking at a set of 30 inch straps .. My mounting holes are 31 inches apart . which will leave me 1 inch for stretch .

Also are straps measured for eye hole to eye hole or end to end ?

Should be measured from eye to eye. As far as stretch, don't know different straps have different stretch. Your better straps want have hardly any stretch, but I know I have had some to go over two inches. You'll notice that alot of rigs will double up on straps.

im looking at buying the double HD ones . But the only time i need them is when im completely flexed out ( just to save my shocks all the strain ) . or jumping it on my motocross track :spin:

Im pretty sure limit straps stretch 1" for every 12"

That sounds about right. I have the best triple wrapped from Poly Performance and they are 34" long. I get about 3" stretch.

Yeah there is a rule of thumb for sure. I usually get them an inch shorter than my mounting points to allow for stretch

Thats crazy. Is that just flexing out or is it when your really getting on it. If it's just when your flexing out, I bet your streching more than that when it's really in a bind.

We've run our limit straps on the race car and I don't think they've broken any yet. We do run double straps though. Our straps are triple down the body, double around the tabs, and quadruple at each end. So far so good!

When it is really in a bind. It does not streth that much static on the lift.
