    The SF and Indy links are both nice but I would go with the indy's. They are beefyer and adjustable. However SF is in your backyard and Dallas could fab up a nice set to your specs...the kid gotz mad skillz!

    I heard a wise man say, "no matter how much you engineer it, something has to break". You get to pick which portion of your suspension brakes. I haven't read anything on here about anyone tearing up their lower links? There may be one buried somewhere. The shop once accidentally put mine on the lift and sat it on the rear links, no damage, PITA to get off though, dummies.

    I would personally go with the SF, as much as I like to support Indy, the prebent ones with the extra clearance just makes sense to me, plus Stinky Fab is just a cool name...

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Jo,
    I don't know if you paid close attention to Dumke's ride, but he had the Indy 4X heavy duty, adjustable, lower links in Moab. Hopefully he'll chime in soon.

    Marlin...I have bent mine several times.Ihave just bent them back using a small jack. You must just notbe trying hard enough. As a matter of fact they are bent now.

    As for the bent SF links...if you have rock sliders they interfear with the movement.

    Jo...didn't you know?...

    You're supposed to rotate the body mount pucks from side to side every leap year...

    It's in the manual...

    FWIW...both Big Jim & I, & a few other Zu's from MWIOR have experienced "bent link syndrome"...

    You are not alone.

    If it weren't a common problem, Dallas never woulda come up with pre bent links...duh.

    That is nice to know, I will not be buying new ones, no new stuff unless I break old stuff first. As for trying hard enough...you know better.LOL.

    <---- ME chiming in ... yes I have Indy links and they are quite beefy. I got them in a full package from Indy which had a few other things with it(was cheaper than to buy oen by one.)


    Anyways I havent had a problem with them yet. They double as my rock sliders lol.. J/k. But I dont ever worry about them bending because how beffy they are. Now prebent ones maybe better but i dunno. But I can say I havent been hung up because of mine so I dont get why clearance would be and issue. I am by no means and expert lol.

    They didnt bend or break here.. Even tho was more my tire kicking this up lol.


    may have to zoom in but those are it.. I can take a closer picture if you need.




    Besides adjustable they are also greesable. Sadly I dont know why you would want to but I keep em greesed.
