Basically look at the way Yota's truss their top, and run the same type of setup.

 

The way I look at it you are probrably most concerened about the Long side. If you were to run the truss form pumpkin to Right side UCA mount, and the from knuckle to Uca mount. I would use a piece of 2x2 tubing with the bottom cut off. It really wouldn't take away much clearance as the UCA mount is still the tallest part.

 

I hope I explained it, I have yet to see it done, but I am sure it has been

I think that you're thinking something like this?

 

that's a friend min baja bui;d, but look at what they did with the truss at the upper link mounts.

 

You could very easily do that with the stamped sheetmetal UCA mount on the D30. So run the truss from the pumkin to the UCA mount, then another truss from the UCA mount to the knuckle. Box in the UCA mount and it becaomes part of the truss.

 

is that what you were thinking?
