I make a set of 3/8" Delrin lowers for the SWX in straight or bent. I've sold a few bent sets and also have used them on my own rig. Works well!

an SWX chassis really does not need bent lower links...

skid plate is longer than normal in turn makes the lower links short..
if setup well your LL will be at the same angle as your drive line or close to it.....

look at the last post in this link.....

SWX Lower Link help

i honestly dont see a need for bent links on the swx. i made custom links the same length of the ones that came with the kit out of revo rod ends, 8-32 all thread and 1/4 ( i think) stainless tube. WORKS GREAT. i think if i ran bent links my drive shaft would drag a heck of a lot more than it does now.
