Overview
The Trail Gear 34 inch Rock Assault axle limit strap, part number 111297-KIT, is a limit strap that keeps a shock from reaching full extension on the trail. Its six-layer, 1.75 inch nylon webbing has little stretch, which Trail Gear says helps protect shocks from breakage on extreme terrain. The strap is classed as universal fit, so the shock dimensions decide which strap you need.
Trail Gear measures length from the center of the mounting holes and guarantees it to +/- 1/4 inch. A strap cut 1 inch shorter than the shock is the recommended match.
Key features
- Six-layer nylon webbing, 1.75 inch wide
- Low stretch to limit full extension of the shock
- Zinc-plated 4130 heat-treated chromoly buckles for corrosion resistance
- 1/2 inch mounting holes in each buckle
- Anti-abrasion clip installed in each buckle to reduce wear
Setting up a limit strap
A limit strap works as a backstop, so its job is to be slack during normal driving and taut only when the axle reaches full droop. Mount it with the shock fully installed and measure with the suspension at rest. A strap that is too short can load the shock mounts, while one that is too long lets the shock run out of travel.
Inspect the strap after rough use. Look at the webbing for cuts, fraying and glazing, and check that the stitching is intact near each buckle. Clean grit out of the buckles and check the clip for wear, since abrasion often starts where the webbing bends around a hard edge.
- Mount with the shock installed for an accurate length
- Check webbing for cuts and fraying after trail use
- Keep buckle pins free of grit

Vehicle fitment
This strap is not sized to a particular vehicle. Universal fit means the shock length, not the model year, sets the correct choice.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Check the shock’s length before selecting this strap, since a strap that is not 1 inch shorter than the shock will not match Trail Gear’s sizing guidance.
