3-link front on FJ80

Winter is here and I've decided to finally mod my front suspension on my FJ80 to accomplish 2 goals.

1. Correct my castor
2. Give me a lot more front flex.

Quick Stats on my current setup:
94 FJ80
lift 6" suspension + 1" spacers
stock radius arms



Don't laugh at my photo below These are just ideas at this point. But what if I did a 3 link keeping my existing panhard sorta like my photo below. I've got the room to fab up a good diff hoop link point and I would connect the upper link just inside the frame.


For my lower control arms I would ditch the factory radius arms and go with a very heavy duty bent lower control arm and attach it at the same mount point on the frame and possibly reuse the same mount point on the axle.

Ideas or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks guys!
