Message Body

On 140's and sometimes on 170's extenders were put on to reduce the chances of nose overs. This moved the axel and the pivot point forward of course. My BD was built with I think 150 gear. The gear sweeps forward a bit having a similar effect as putting extenders on 140 gear legs which are straighter. My question for discussion is this, "How much adverse effect on the structure does this angle produce?" If the gear truss box is reinforced with the additional compression member from thr top of the triangle?
