if you bend the hell outta one, do you flip and hope it straightens back out or try a press...

or option C, dont worry bout it and just run it...
 
From everything I've read on other forums, when you try to bend it back in a press, most likely it will shatter and send fragments miles wide killing wildlife and small children.
I say run it like it is, unless its a bottom rear and then its in compression and could wad up. Put 2.5 back in there :flipoff1: That's what all the richers with good jobs do :flipgotcha:
 
yeah, lower passenger rear link.. no pics..

want to leave yall in suspense for a while.. :flipoff1:

would flippin it over and lettn rock bouncing take its toll be a bad thing?

I have seen 2" bend thats why I went with 2.25 :flipoff1:
 
You could put 3" in there and when you drop a jeep from about 5 feet or more on it near the center it will bend... Just part of it. You could pay to have it pressed back flat or just run it. You will do it again... I promise..
 
And remind me again why I went with steel links that you can straighten, weld on in the woods, and where cheaper.

Oh I am and have been for a while already. when they get really bent I will go 2" lower because I cannot fit bigger.
