I put the CC LT link on my Hightower as well but I did also add 55mm stroke shock to get the full 160mm travel which ensured I didn't lose the dampening. I would say that the travel certainly felt deeper and plusher while the RS Deluxe kept up with the dampening just fine and did a much better job of keeping up in the fast rough chatter. I did up the fork as well with a 160mm air shaft so balance was great. Excellent upgrade that has maintained the Hightower as my favorite trail bike. It's what I rode in the 2022 Stone King
