suspension and other questions?

Remember, Range Rovers and Discos were being made for a while before they came to the US and didn't have anti-roll bars. But if you are a safe driver you don't really need them IMO.
Series Rovers all had axle check straps. If you suddenly drop a wheel in to a hole you can break a shock. If you have them so they are just slightly shorter than the extended length of the shock there's no downside to having them.

Yea but just like shocks slowly compress they slowly extend so the speed at which you're hitting things does matter. A shock is less likely to survive a smashing compression than an easing compression. Same goes for extension.. It's a matter of the driver knowing what they are doing and not driving like an idiot into a 4 foot hole or over a jump at speed topping out the shocks.. Erictyrell will be here to start his teaching session on bump stop length soon..

I know that. I'm just saying there isn't a down side to limit straps, other than the few bucks it costs to make them and time to install. I'm not saying they are a "must have".
