Trying to move axle rearward. which ones go in to do this? Lf426-445 and lf 120-345. Just took the 120-345 out. The 120-345 look longer. I need something longer than this

You're going to have to call Calvert for this info, I'm sure.

I went to the 25" ft segment but not to move the rear back but to take advantage of the extra leverage...........

Ok. The ones in it now are 120-345 20" segments. I think a 22 would be all i need to center the tire in the well.

I remeasured with tires on and looks like 1/2" longer would be perfect. 21" would be back too far.

if you move the rear end back a full inch the Bar will be and inch too short.. I was comfortable with three quarters of an inch... that was the minimum thread engagement on the Himes that I was comfortable with

Pretty damn tuff, but it can be done. Do the 1/2" spacer that Firefighter suggests. up

I think theres enough to move the rear back 3/8". Thanks for that, didn't even occur to me. The boxes are moved in and welded. Gonna leave as is for now. I'll work next year when I get the bigger tires. thanks

I have a drill press and some new drill bits, I will give it a try when I need to. I would like to get a 29" rear tire on it and may give it a try next year or thru the winter months.
