Great thread.

I've got straps on my Sierra... typically used them only as droop limit straps though, but I may try tightening them up once and launch to see how it feels.

oh, I also have a set of 17" DJ Safety straps brand new for sale in my classified ad... They are more the length of a truck with approx. a typical 6" lift. no clevises though, but they can be had separately.


I've got QA1's, just single adj., on my lowered Silverado and I LOVE THEM. So easy to adjust, and you can actually feel the difference in settings. I can only imagine how sweet the double adjs. are for separate rebound and compression!

Straps have worked well on mine so far. Haven't got to experiment with them much as I only have two passes on them but they show promise.

Bringing this back from the dead. I have a set of these straps ready to install, just missing the angled/beveled washers. Anyone know where to get them?
