Just wondering how you guys were doing this back in the day when there was no kits, swapping out the rear idlers for larger ones, specifically which pieces were preferred? I have a set of yammi steel idlers, was there any "special" parts used, or were the first ones just bolted directly in? The suspension i have is an xtra 10 133.5 if this helps any......Thanks for any and all advice...:d

The hardest part is getting the axle center moved, depending on how big of wheel you want to go with sometimes you also need to move the axle center ahead not just up.

You had to make up an adapter plate that would move the axle forward and up as mentioned. Not hard to do.
I might even still have one made to fit an early Doo though.
