Whatcha. Is there a simple place to affix axle droop limiting straps? I was thinking secured on top of chassis and then looped under radius arms?

I have no idea on a Jimny, but on a Series Land Rover they attached to the side of the chassis (custom mount point) and loop under the axle tube.
I don't have them on my Series, the shock limits the movement and so far its not damaged the shock in an way.

With my factory springs in it's not a problem as like you say the dampers limit droop while the spring is still under pressure. With my track springs there is a definite possibility of the spring unseating as I don't need to compress them to fit them and having a spring fall off in a corner would suck.

You could buy a clamp that holds the spring to the axle
Rockwatt. Jimnybits both sell them
Rockwatt's is the better design
Ask Dave Jones aka Zook bob he was selling Rockwatt's version

They could work though they won't limit droop. Cheers.
