Do you mean "limit straps"
No he mean front blocks. Really depends on if you plan to daily drive your truck or not.
My first design was pretty cheap and was just to get me by, cut out a 4x4 in the shape of a wedge with the grain of wood flat across. Then put between a arm and bracket. Pretty jank but had worked most the season until this weekend. Was in slow Reilly's tonight and found some Poly bump stops that have been laying on the shelf for years I'm gunna use I think if I can work them over and make em work

This is what I made and has worked very well so far. My truck does have a Rancho 4" lift. I adjust the height by adding or subtracting washers. Still rides nice when sitting on A-arms.

big Chevy hitch makes some nice adjustable ones in that case.
So these keep the front from lifting the suspension & c/v's stay flat
No, just replace the bump stops.

When you let torsion bars all the way down you get the face down a** up stance. The truck pulls smooth and doesn't hop, but when you take off and your truck levels out you lose hitch height... And if you've been pulling very long you know hitch height wins pulls. So we block up the front end so that when we take off it raises just enough to get off the stops and hitch height barely drops.

I got a set of the big Chevy replacement bump stops a couple months ago.. They work good.. I still gotta stick some sort of spacer in between them and the a arm.. They're not adjustable like they claim.. But they are way better than stock stops..
These are the ones I used.

I just found some extra parts in the shop to make four more sets. I thought I used up all my stock. Let me know if you want the pieces to make them I will send you a set.
