Could I easily trim this truss to fit on the bottom of the 10.5 axle for those really hard hits?

A — Staff (Artec Team): No, This truss was designed off a 3d scan of the axle and intended to be run on the top of the axle

What is a good upper link option for this truss used with triangulated upper arms ?

A — Staff (Artec Team): The Br1044 will work with this truss but will overhang slightly off the back you can also used the Br1067 which is adjustable and stands more upright so it will not hang off the back of the truss , in addition to allowing for proper vertical separation for a 40" tire
