: Need opinions on links

Ok so I've seen people's side links bend and bow due to the weight of the vehicle coming down on the link that decided to high center itself on the rocks. So I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas when it comes to link gusseting. I've been using either 3/16 or 1/4 inch wall stuff but some friends use that and they have bowed their links. I was thinking of running another bar above and attach it ladder bar style or using plate between the two tubes? Anyone got preferences or know what give significantly more strength?
