|  bending options
i wanted to bend my stock links but would it be bad to bend both front and rear? should i just bend front? or should i bend the rear links? i am very new to this and just want to see if anyone has done this allready and have feedback?

If you bend the stock links its gonna shorten them. so unless you do something with the upper part also its gonna mess with your pinion angle. As far as bent links go - id run them front and rear, but I think id just make new lowers that are bent.

Personally I would advise against bent links on the LMC. The pinion it quite low and I think you would run into trouble with the drive shafts catching on rocks. But if you do want to try it out make new links don't bend the original ones.

all 4 of my lowers are bent, and i have no such problems, i adjusted my rear pinion angle with my custom tri-link.  |

unless you clock the diff I have rear steer on my mrc and a clocked rear diff and the king pin angle is 17ish deg. steering link sits level to the axle and steering is still very good. | |
