Those who have done this; where did you bolt the top of the front limiting strap? This is a center mounted strap. I'm looking to limit unloading on waterfall climbs. Thanks!

The unlimited build up by DSI has a limiting strap picture in it.

For the front, ran a cross member under the front of the pan, tubing with a tab, for the rear welded a tab on the rear cross member, but the gas tanks in the tube outa the way. I did the center limits for the same reason, unloading, and done away with the front anti rock and rear sway, mucho better. I did run chain till a got the correct lengths dialed in, then ordered straps.Got about 2 inches of slack front and rear. I did noticed that it also helped in body roll, not as bad as no sways and nothing. The rear has been tuned and the front I'm still playing with, might pull it tight to see how it acts.What works on one rig may not on another, but I suggest chain till you know for sure what length your gonna be happy with. Good luck :D

I plan on putting two limiting straps running from the middle of the front diff to the left and right inner sides of the frame.

Thanks for the helpful replies. It looks like limiting straps are the way to go. Now I just need to decide how tight to set them.
