Yes but your pinion angle will suck.

Since the links will now be bolted to the holes that are farther from the axle center line the axles will be rotated slightly from their original position. This makes the pinions point down instead of up like they should.

So I'm guessing it'll make them bind? Can I do anything with the shocks to help out the pinion angle a bit?

Mine are flipped and my pinion doesn't point down. Its flat or maybe pointed up a but still. Your drive lines won't bind.

The effect of lowering the ride height helps counteract the pinion angle. There is no issue running that setup.

Most every one here runs shitty pinion angles. Even the high dollar well built rigs even me at times. See mostly only cosmetic issues and slight clearance issues. Youl be fine its worth it to lower it |

I had wondered how it would affect the travel, looks like a win win to get the COG lower and still have good travel. I guess this is one of the next things I'll do with mine as well, hard to beat a free mod. |
