You sure don't want one of those links to break during an emergency maneuver with 10k+ behind you! Could easily turn into a deadly situation.

Just wanted to bump this and say Les Schwab came through for me and installed the new links today.

So you guys are saying that by merely jacking the truck up to change and/or rotate the tires you'll bend the links or am I missing something here?

It's probably when you force the suspension down to get the spacers in that's bends the arms. Buddy of mine with an 04 Hemi with the spacers has the same problem.

Just checked mine, there is a slight bend to them also. I have a 2.5" Skyjacker lift too, didn't think the drop blocks or end links were a issue either with the small lift. Guess I'll chalk that one up to experience and add it to the to-do list.

Like everything from Kore the spacers are overpriced. It's just a piece of metal with 2 holes in it, make your own.

Should get my Lorenze spacers today. Truck goes in for the leveling lift in 2 weeks. Wahoooo!

Can't wait, got the warranty BFG 285's and now the leveling kit. My kid even asked me last night, " Did you get new tires Dad?" "The truck is starting to look like a real truck" . I know its ego but it made me smile.
