Default Modifying IRO longarms into true 3 link?

Has any one cut the top radius link/caster adjuster/iro gusset off and ran a separate upper link with the iro long arms? I don't see reason why you couldn't do it...there seems to be plenty of room for another link and a frame side bracket. I wouldn't think any structural support on the lower link would be lost either.

I got iro kit new for basically free a while ago so i ran it. I'm in the middle of a waggy 44 swap so I'm thinking about changing it up while I'm here.

Any input appreciated.

I would just start over If it was me.

There is nothing special about whats left of the iro setup. You could probably sell it and get enough back to fund a custom 3 link

I've thought about that also. But personally I think the iro crossmember is pretty decent so i'd want to build off of that.

Keep your crossmember, I'll buy your arms if the price is right.
