does anyone have them,or know anything about how they work and their benefits.I tried researching but I couldn' really find anything on them.Thanx

Are you talking about the rubber snubbers that stop the suspension travel? If you are, what would you like to know?

I mean the cable style.I have my front end set up pretty loose, but I can't get the wheels off the ground. If I put these in would it give me more front end rise, or would it tie it down?

The rubber and the cable ones both do the same thing right? I just want to know how they work, where you install them, and any pros and cons.Basically everything there is to know about them.

The idea of the travel limiter is to keep the front end from rising too high.

Jack your car up from the engine crossmember. measure how high it lifts before the wheels come off the ground. That's the maximum suspension travel.

The limiters are attached to the suspension so that when the front end rises, it stops before the suspension maxes out or think of it as reducing the suspension travel when the car lifts. If there's enough torque available, the car will then try to raise the front suspension earlier than normal.

It's a tuning aid. It can be a cable, chain or rod. Whatever works best to limit the suspension travel.

I don't use them on my race car yet. A street car definatly doesn't need them.

The only place I have seen widespread use of suspension limiting straps is on four wheel drive swamp racers. These things have literally feet of suspension travel, and need to be able to limit it to prevent pulling driveshafts apart. I can see no real practical value on a car. simply limiting your front suspension travel will not cause the car to lift the tires off the road when you step on the gas real hard. (that would require an amazing amount of torque, and I suspect the stock rearend would do it's grenade impression....)

It would limit the amount of rise you would get on hard acceleration, and MIGHT help you transfer some weight to the rear wheels for added traction, but, if that were the case, I think drag racers would have taken advantage of it years ago.

I know alot of super gas racers that use them to help improve reaction times, by limiting the amount of suspension travel the front wheels will lift off the ground quicker thus giving the faster R/T.

anything more than 6" of air under your tires is ET WASTED from going up in the air and not going FOWARD

a lot of people use travel limiters to keep the front end from rising to high and wasting ET
