    Yes but if something like a stress crack happens your warranty is void, its like in those reality hot rod shows when they take like a new mustang and customize it, some guy always says "OK let's void the warranty!"

    It would fit, but the problem is it would allow the rear wheel to travel further into the frame, so either you get tire rub or worse the linkages run into the frame and destroy something.
