yes , ihave a stock link pin but would like longer arms. my thinking is it will give more travel and shorten my wheel base some. im at 111 inch now too long to navigate some times but too late to start over. i could use another couple of inches ground clearence in the front also.
There are a couple of guys that have cut up stock arms and made them longer with different degrees of success. Most of us have migrated away from stock components, I haven't had any stock link/king pin parts in several years. If you have any welding-fabrication skills, extending a set of arms, with the right guidance is a straight forward job. Building a GOOD jig is key.
As far as shortening down a 111 inch chassis, 2 1/2" longer arms isn't going to do a bunch to help. Any more than 2 1/2", your opining up a whole new set of problems.
