				Seems to me attaching cables to the gear legs defeats the purpose of  rod or tubular spring landing gear legs.
  
 Spring gear and large low pressure tires take a lot of load off the airframe experienced during hard landings.

 Cables are a safety for a hard landing at worst they would lessen a bad landing
 And prevent a gear collapse.
 
  
 
 For what it’s worth !
