Ruff stuff makes a nice tie in kit for their pinion guard.
I bought one and modified it to work with my existing truss.

is it bent because of link forces or contact with chassis?

looks to be .25"  bridge and tabs

in guessing link forces, with no gusseting to prevent twisting. upgrade top peice to 3/8"s and add some gussets

They’re fine as long as you don’t break them.

Adequate limit straps and bump stops are a must.
