    Giant has about 3 different versions of the link killer shocks. One of which is a single tube. Its a 3.0 tube on a 2.5 shock

    really? I didn't know that, I would think a rebound tube would be crucial for leaf springs to make them "link killers"

    Exactly, that's why they're a joke lol. The kit defiantly isn't any where near "link killing"

    You can't form any opinions though off of Stuart's truck. The installation was terrible and the valving was way off. No truck with a stock bed, single spare and stock tank can use a double stack of .020s on compression. It's not fair to bash giant over someone elses horrible attempt at installing their kit

    ...too much shit to list.
    Depends on the installer.
    The link killer is a marketing term, but the pure race series comp tube and larger bump zone does provide advantages without breaking the bank.
