[QUOTE="Raul Suarez, post: 83583, member: 392"] Re: Extending the forks on Sumner Eventer 25's You may want to confirm with Sumner that the forks you have are the stock length and have not been shortened. There are fork extenders for the Eventer 16 but non that I am aware of for the 25. I cannot confirm the stock fork length of the 25. The stock Genie ST-25 for has a length of 26" with a max load rating at 18" or less from the end mast end of the fork and a minimum spec'ed load rating at 24" from the mast end. It appears that you array frame only offers front and rear shackle points. You can make a bridle between the front and rear points on your frame. If you make the legs the correct lengths they will join above the center of gravity for the angle that you want your array to hang. This will vary based on the number of boxes and how you curve the array. Hopefully your array software can provide a center of gravity point for you in its rigging information. I would expect this to be somewhere around the 18" from the mast. You will want to confirm this. Your array will now hang lower from the forks but you will be applying the load within spec for the lift. [/QUOTE]
