Overview
The 111285-KIT is a 22 in axle limit strap from Trail Gear’s Rock Assault line, built from six layers of nylon webbing. Its purpose is to restrain a shock so it cannot reach full extension on rough ground.
The strap is universal fit, so the shock you run decides which length to buy. Each strap is sold individually.
The specification table gives the 22 in length, webbing construction, buckle material, zinc finish and mounting hole size in one place.
Key features
- Six layers of nylon webbing built for minimal stretch.
- 4130 heat-treated Chromoly Steel buckles, zinc-plated.
- Anti-abrasion clips in each buckle to reduce wear.
- Nylon rated at 9,000 lb test.
- Length taken from the center of the 1/2 inch mounting holes.
Choosing the right strap length
An axle limit strap works as a stop on the shock’s travel. When the axle drops on rough ground, the strap keeps the shock from reaching full extension, which can otherwise damage the shock body or its mounts. Because the strap is universal fit, the shock is the reference point. Measure the shock’s extended length before choosing a size, and leave enough slack that normal suspension travel is not blocked.
Strap length also affects how the suspension behaves under load. A strap that is too short can limit articulation more than intended, while one that is too long may not stop the shock before damage occurs. Check both ends for wear, and look for chafing on the webbing wherever it rubs against brackets or other parts of the vehicle.
- Check the webbing for cuts and fraying
- Inspect buckle clips for wear
- Confirm both ends sit on solid mounts
- Re-check hardware after the first few trail runs

Vehicle fitment
Trail Gear marks this strap universal fit, so no specific vehicle, year or trim is assigned. Fit is decided by the shock’s length.
Installation notes
An inch shorter than the shock is the length Trail Gear suggests, so the shock cannot fully extend. Compare the 22 in size with your shock before you decide.
What’s included
The 22 in strap is sold individually.
Not included: Check your shock and mounting hardware needs against your installation before starting.
