Bummer. Looks like you are/were running links that are too short.While on Cliff Hanger last week I munched one side of my front antirocks on the first major obstacle coming up out of the creek. Wrapped it around the tie rod from over centering it. Good to see they sell the components so an easy fix. Parts are on the way.
Probably true, I added 3.5 inch RK springs right before the trip, up from 2.5. Modded the RK arms but didn't touch the links. Lesson learned.Bummer. Looks like you are/were running links that are too short.
The ONLY reason to run limiting straps is if you have so much droop that your drive shafts bind at a full droop. Other than that, your shocks are your limiting straps.Probably true, I added 3.5 inch RK springs right before the trip, up from 2.5. Modded the RK arms but didn't touch the links. Lesson learned.
How many guys use limit straps to avoid over travel?
You need longer links not limiting straps.Probably true, I added 3.5 inch RK springs right before the trip, up from 2.5. Modded the RK arms but didn't touch the links. Lesson learned.

Thanks, I've run the old setup for 5 years with no issues. amazing what another inch will do. ;-)The ONLY reason to run limiting straps is if you have so much droop that your drive shafts bind at a full droop. Other than that, your shocks are your limiting straps.
Awesome! Nice to hear they were willing to wait for you tooWell I got a call 10 mins after the shop closed to tell me they got it all finished. The shop manager waited another 20 mins for me to drive and pick up my Jeep. I've got to say I had no idea they could do a clutch job that fast. Clutch feels much better now. The pedal is softer and will take some getting used to but it shifts better than it did new.
yikes!!Been working on the winch bumper and the DRL LEDs for the fender. Bumper is on but I have to make some changes so I don't have any pictures of the finished product. I started on the fenders last night after work. I got hit by some idiot going 60 in a 35 with no lights on at 6:30AM a couple of months ago so that is what initiated the DRLS. It broke one of my brand new wheels and and cracked the front and rear fender flares. Figured if I was going to change the flares I might as well do the lights. Got interrupted by slipping with the knife and cutting myself pretty badly.
Feel like an idiot....

Thanks! My wife was at a school function, I had to call her to come take me to the ER. She was really happy! When we got home and she looked at the garage she said it looked a crime scene! I won't post those pics.yikes!!
damn! glad you're okThanks! My wife was at a school function, I had to call her to come take me to the ER. She was really happy! When we got home and she looked at the garage she said it looked a crime scene! I won't post those pics.
Dang, sorry that happened to you. I once somehow stabbed by big toe really deep with a knife while working on my Challenger a few years ago. I had to add “don’t work on vehicles while wearing sandals” to my list of stupid things never to do again. That list is getting pretty long.Been working on the winch bumper and the DRL LEDs for the fender. Bumper is on but I have to make some changes so I don't have any pictures of the finished product.

P.S. Don't use a dull blade when you are trimming! You might end up in the ER for 4 hours!
