Default How do I bend my lower links ?

I have a Rs10 that I have been moding and now that it's sitting lower I want to bend my lower links. I have seen people do this and I would like to hear some tips on how to make this happen as easy as posible without having to go out and buy a set of bent links. I want them to all be the same so it rides level. Thanks

You will have to get/make longer links because when you bend them they get shorter from eye to eye. Then just put it in a vise or sturdy tubing bender and bend them.

i just used 1 closed end wrench and my hand

bolted the 2 links together ................(so it will be same)

took a wrench slid it to where i wanted the bend and worked it in tiny moves up and down the spot i wanted bent (as to not just collapse the tube)


worked like a charm ..............but i did not use the rs links you might need to add a lil heat to them when doing it
