I run my stock links bent front and rear. I've put them through hell, I jump it, sheered three rod ends with them and they are still bent the same amount. As mentioned the bought bent links seem to bend easy. Get yourself two sets of pliers mark about an inch inwards, put the pliers on either side and bend. Repeat 3 times to match the bends and you have bent links and it didn't cost you anything. Sure they'll be 2mm shorter but really...are you going to know? I'm all for bent links up front. The advantage is that you have more clearance cresting a ledge so you front tires plant instead of hitting your links. I don't see any cons to running them. My .02 |

getting up on a ledge or shelf..makes transition much smoother.. droping off.. the same ..kinda gets ya goin the right direction... lets the tires reach down further..this is one of those times where a picture would say a thousand words... MILLER gets it^^^^^^^^^^^ |

I agree the bent links help with the breakover angle. My truck gets hung up a lot less with the bents in the front.
