The stage 2 setup works much better than stock. It lowers the the truck and fixes some geometry problems.
Most of us only run the bent links in the back. It increases ground clearance and helps when pulling the rear up over steep objects. They are not needed for the front and introduce a weak point with the bend in the link.
Hopefully we will have some new links in stock next week that are thicker and solid to increase the durability of this part. We also have some more cool new upgrades for the Scorpion in the next couple of weeks
