I need some photos.....My rig is in the shop getting new OME shocks installed AGAIN!!! The passenger side blows....the A-arm drops to the spring....rips the ball joint boot to pieces, and a strap is the only solution...

Kurt you can attach the top of the strap to the coil bucket or weld on a cleves mount to the frame. the bottom of the strap can attach to the lower shock mount.

Mo does the search for "limiting straps" and comes up with " front diff leak".....surely the best search engine on the planet
And that thread had no pics. in it....thanks for making me read all that crap Mo....
Kurt, you may want to try google and see what you can come up with from 4runner and tacoma forums. I am sure some of the tacoma prerunner and 4x4 guys have done limiting straps to their rigs already and may even have some kits out there with mounting locations. Just an idea to try. I may end up doing this too as wheeling sans sway bar helps a good bit i have found but the cv's bind at full droop on mine.

I also did a quik search to see if your old buddy blackcherry posted any pics of his limit strap set up but it doesn't look like he did.
