Junior's Air Assault Phase II Practice Test

The front link count is about how many chain links are used on the front portion of the sling, which determines how much adjusting range you have to reach mounting points and keep the sling aligned during the lift. For the M1102 LTT, the lighter 10K set includes more front links to provide greater adjustability and reach at that lower load rating. The heavier 25K set uses thicker, stronger hardware and fewer adjustable increments, so it has fewer front links. In short, the 10K sling set offers more front-end adjustability, making it the option with the higher front link count.
