Default Front Suspension Travel Limiters - Anyone Using?

Now that I'm running Hals up front, I want them to last! Any value to running travel limiters to maintain the health of your shocks - or other benefits?

We use a cable and weld tabs to the lower control arm and the frame. The tabs have holes at different heights so you can change suspension extension.

Thanks for the info.I wish I were a bit closer to your shop because this seems like a great mod.

I will be installing PA K frame and A arms,could I send you the Aarms and have them fabbed up? or is something you need the car to do it right.TIA

No, it helps you tune the suspension/weight transfer as well (if you've got a car that really pulls up the front hard)

Thanks, Jegs and Summit have the pre-fabbed kit - that's why I was asking!

Anyone else use them?
