Aftermarket Links

How many of you are running a aftermarket link on the rear shock? I'm curious to know what kind and what improvement it made. Pro's vs Cons. Or if you have had an experience with a link tell me about it.

I have run an aftermarket link for (3) years (along with a re-valved/re-sprung shock that matches) and it is night and day difference over stock. It eliminated the bucking I had with the stock shock. Also lower the ride height, gave plusher ride across smaller bumps and made the big bumps more progressive.

The ONE thing I did not like is I had to cut the skid plate for link clearance and that left the link and lower shock eye exposed for damage.

This spring I am testing a shock setup that gives all the advantages above, but uses the stock link and regular skid plate. I'm hoping for great results!
