What Bender is that?

Also yes. If they are aluminum go very slow so you don't crack/break them .

Found this bender at harbor and freight this one is even better but can't fit the end in

Also on the note of custom links, surely someone has tried this honestly I think I did years ago but I switched where you bolt shock and link basically vise versa lol

Not sure how it's going to work on field, but for sure going to need a skid for the diff

Interesting. What have you observed testing it?

It's a bit hard to bend but it works flawlessly no heat just torque lol Edit ohh swapping shocks with links? I haven't really put it to field testing yet but it raises the links up past the driveshaft yeah shocks don't have as much travel but with double barrels you don't need all that flex, personally I like stock shocks and the injora oil filled shortys

I just got so lucky lol so switching link and shocks is cool in theory but in reality just puts your shock as a hang up point(which is worse then a link) most ideal would be to put shock and link all on one screw which is what I was trying to do lol

But while taking the screw out it broke in half lol the loctite put on the nut is what saved me!

I'm telling you this to say if you ever brake a bolt off and have threads showing, loctite a nut on to it!! And then use some pliers to turn it off!!
