[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 83584, member: 158"] Re: Extending the forks on Sumner Eventer 25's Okay, I've got a possible idea. You could bridle the front and rear points of the frame using short steel and then create a center point on your forks using a piece of square tubing placed (and clamped) across the TOP of the forks to help compensate for the lost trim height. I wouldn't use span sets for the bridle as a short bridle like this will present a significant load. Also, (and this should go without saying) use ONLY rated steel and shackles for this... I'm sure a more qualified rigger will chime in and point out why what I've suggested won't work. :) [/QUOTE]
