| Bent links in rear only?
Do you guys suggest running the bent links in the rear only? Someone suggested I do that but it was late at night and I put them in the front by accident. I am definitely concerned about handling the hills coming down, so I wanted to hear some of your thoughts on it. thanks |

I run bent link's front and rear. Some people only run them in the rear, as the rock or whatever you are crawling has already made it to the chassis once your front tire's are over it. I have not seen anyone put them up front only. It's all about trial and error. I've put many thing's togather only to find out I put it togather wrong. That's why you always put stuff togather first then read the instructions!

I used to run front and rear and now run rear only. My front links are dead flat though. Bent links in front on mine really dont help.

Bent links will give you a little more clearance and can help on breakovers, but can flex when you're trying to push up a vertical face. Try both, see what you like.
