just wondering if there is a kit on the market for flipping radius arms?
is this worth doing? what troubles will this create or solve?
was maybe thinking of flipping the the radius arms and then joining the front of the arms onto a homemade xlink...
keep in mind this is being built up as a winch comp truck, no on road use...

thats would only increas upwards travel as it would hit the diff instead of dropping away.. unless you had it on the rear bushes..you could get alot of flex then..

I think main problem would be very little room between diff pumpkin and driver's side spring mount.
What are you hoping to gain?
Is it just big lift?
Have seen it done on 80 series, filpped arms and X link. Custom 4x4 mag. Is on the cover.

not worth doing on a patrol, there is too much in the way. 80 are easy to do but dont bother with a nissan
