Overview
Trail Gear’s 24 in Rock Assault axle limit strap, part 111287-KIT, uses six-layer nylon webbing to keep a shock from overextending. The strap is built for hard trail use where full shock extension could cause breakage.
It is universal fit and sold individually. Trail Gear describes minimal stretch, zinc-plated 4130 Chromoly Steel buckles and anti-abrasion clips as core features.
Specifications in the table below cover the length, webbing layers, buckle material and finish, mounting holes and the tolerance for the 24 in size.
Key features
- Six-layer nylon webbing with low stretch under load.
- Buckles made from 4130 heat-treated Chromoly Steel with zinc plating.
- Abrasion-resistant clips inside each buckle.
- Nylon strap material with a 9,000 lb test rating.
- Length measured from the center of the 1/2 inch mounting holes.
Trail driving with a long strap
A longer limit strap allows more shock travel before it takes effect, so the setup behaves differently from a short strap. On trail the extra length can help the suspension articulate, but the shock still needs to be kept short of full extension. Measure the shock’s extended length and set the strap accordingly before each trip.
Long straps can drag or catch on obstacles if they hang loose, so route the strap clear of the tires and brake lines. Check that the mounting points hold the strap firmly without binding. A strap that is too loose may slap during rough driving, and one that is too tight can restrict the suspension.
- Route the strap clear of tires and brake lines
- Check mounting points for tightness
- Recheck the shock length after suspension changes

Vehicle fitment

Installation notes
Set the strap roughly one inch shorter than the shock to prevent full extension and possible breakage. Verify the shock length first.
