on a stock link frame all you need to change to run a no link swinger is a special no link arm, JRD, Roll Design, and Lonestar make one. it doesnt add a lot of travel but it is a lot more responsive ride

the no link really isnt designed for jumping its made for better handleing in whoops, if your bottoming out you need your shock revalved.

this is true except the know link setup does handle big jumps better also IMHO.

well if you think so.....but i just dont see that the differance in the shock angle will have to do with the quad slamming to the ground.i think the actual shock valving has more to do with landing jumps then the no link.

i didnt meen it like that. you said that a no link isnt designed for jumping. that is what i disagreed with. it will handle big jumps jus fine.

well not that it isnt designed for jumping, thats not what i mean,im saying when it was designed its purpose to to handle better, it doesnt make it worse for jumping.

Running the no link will give you more travel but you will need to revalve. It will be an ocerall better shock unless your doing flat track or racing tracks with no whoops or big jumps.
