Strap the front so it doesnt unload and transfer as much to the back makes more sense to me but I might be wrong. But you can go to the hardware store and buy the stuff to do it fo less then $10. I did it to mine to try it awhile ago and spent a total of $6 if that.

Strapping the front on these cars is a good thing to do if you have a **** suspension. A good suspension will do all the work for you.

like ICC said. they're called limiting straps. alot of off road buggies and 4x4s around here that run um. someone with a name in racing makes them. i found um last year when i was looking. skyjacker makes some too. 16". all the same deal. g-force makes um too. some call them axle straps.

i would guess the op is thinking of limiting straps. they help the front end from lifting. a lot of wheelers use them too. you can make them for pretty cheap. any local hardware store should have the parts to make them.

those straps you can buy in different sizes from almost any off roading store and the part welded on the fork is the same stuff used for traction bars. im sure there is an autop shop in your town that carries them. find someone to weld them on and you are good to go. the nice thing about using those bars is they are easily adjustable. if you dont wanna spend the money on baller suspension like us...we are too poor for that **** lol
