• Under situations of high torque and extremely high traction, the Zig Zag may separate at
both sides at once. This condition is difficult to achieve (usually only Moab slickrock or
similar + low tire pressure + steep uphill) and is normally very brief and not damaging or
substantially limiting to off-road performance. If however it is desired to eliminate the
possibility for a certain obstacle (such as ‘Dump Bump’ in Moab), the lockouts can be quickly
installed and then removed afterwards.
• The Zig Zag does NOT separate until the load on a rear spring goes to ZERO – this is
elementary physics. Unless other major modifications have been incorrectly performed to
your vehicle, there is no chance that the ZZ will separate under heavy braking or when
descending steep hills. If it does separate under panic-stop braking, then you have unsafe
and incorrect brake proportioning (and VERY strong brakes plus sticky tires!), which should
be corrected before driving on public roads. If the ZZ were to separate while descending a
steep hill, it means that the spring(s) were already unloaded – which means you surely did
an ‘endo’ over the front and landed up-side down. Neither of these situations should be
possible, and if they occur, the result was NOT the fault of the ZZ!
