Front End Travel Limiters problem I just recently buy Competition Engineering Front End Travel Limiters (Cable-Style). My problem is where to fix Travel Limiters (control arm tab) in the lower control arm.
Please can any one help me with this? Some pic will help too?

I believe we have pics on our site of how we do them. We mount the tab on the A Arm inline with the shock. The frame tabs are inline with the A Arm.

I don't hav a photo, but it doesn't really mater where you put them on teh arm. Put the limiter on so it's behind teh shock on teh back side of the a arm, weld the limiter tab on the arm where you like, 1/2 way out is fine, then weld the tab on the car.
I'd start with about 3 inches of down travel from ride height (to set, set the car on the ground at ride height, measure the distance of the front fender lip to the ground, line up the tape measure with the center of the front wheel so you can be consistant. then, jack the car up so it's 3 inches higher then it was, pull the tire and set the limiter there to start.
Do the same for both sides, (make sure they are the same ride height wise, or as close as you can get) and start there. The car is gonna hit the tire harder with the limiters on so you may have to add a lb of air to the rear tires. If the car is blowing the tires off some at the hit, loosen the limiters one inch, but be careful, too loose and they won't do their job.
They definately fixed my problems, no more wheelstands for me
Hope this helps

It should be fine that way.
Just set them so that when the car is at ride height, you have to raise the car about 3 inches before the cable is taught.
This way there is only 3 inches of downtravel from ride height, as this is a good starting point.
