brainstorming again.......

Hey folks,
The pictures aren't the best (I pulled them off the internet), but I hope you can see enough to understand what I'm asking and offer some advice.

Bottom line, I have a 3pt hitch dump container and need my hydraulics to lift higher to take advantage of the dump function. Was thinking of 2 possibilities.

1) if you look at the left picture just below the left upper lift arm, or the top of the right picture you'll see kind of rabbit ear (my imagination running wild) brackets.
Does anyone see a safety issue with unhooking the lower arms from where they are now (right picture) and hooking them in the upper brackets?

2) The next idea is to leave the lower arms as/is and shorten the links between the upper and lower arms. Thinking this would be the best, but don't know how low the upper lift arm will go without hurting anything internal.

Clear as mud???

Thanks, Dave

First option would change your CG drastically, 2nd option would bring your lift arms into your axle quickly. You might look at changing the connection on the hopper getting a lower lifting point.
 

Thanks! It's only a matter of 5 or 10 minutes to unload and wiping my boots off afterwards. Still would have to take the tailgate off and put it back on anyway. The hookups are already an the bottom of the container.
