I don't run them myself, but I believe some people have been able to take a little out of the ballcup to get the clearance without loss of strength.

you can cut a v shape in the ball cup where it would hit the hub filling down the hub is fine too which some do but you may not want to file down expensive rayspeed hubs when you can cut a small bit of a cheap ball cup

Yes a V cut in the ball link works fine, I used j concepts ball links and have not broke one yet

Ellis run 2 washers under the ball stud so this gives you more room

I thought Ellis had his hubs machined lower though for wider setup options and 2 washers put it back to origional height again correct me if i'm wrong
