David, Back when I was racing off-road, we attached the strap to the shock blots and used HD springs to keep the strap out of the wheel and suspension components. And we had 21" of travel, so I think that should work fine for a syncro. Cheers, Jeff

Winter is coming and so is another great project to make the Syncro even better. The Syncro Single Cab that I imported from Germany will under go some radical suspension mods as time permits. Project goals include: - 32" tall tires (7.50R16) - 16" ground clearance - Fully adjustable shocks front and rear - Bigger CVs for more suspension travel One of the issues that I want to resolve is keeping the suspension from topping out via the shocks. I want to use a limiting strap for this purpose. The question that I have is where would you fasten the limiting strap to at the rear of the vehicle in order that it will not hit the wheel when it is slack? Same question would come of the front too...
