Default High clearence links?

I did a search for HCL's and couldn't find what I was looking for, I'm looking for TLT's with HCL's anybody running them? I wanna do a setup with bent links but not so much to where the D-lines are way exposed....Please post some pics or links to some pics......T.I.A.

not sure about the TLT's but i will never run bent links again on a big truck. They add stress to the point of where the rod end and link meet. also they tend to slap around. I always had problems when i ran HCL's and not a single problem when i switched back to straight links.

What is a good way to make sure they're equaly bent and what works best to bend them?

When I do my tube bending, I put the tubes together in a vice and bend them together at the same time...works for me
