Phil, It was Brian Kraut who discussed it with Dan, but I believe Brian is making his own gear legs and brackets because Dan did not recommend adding length to the legs with the Diehl alum brackets. I actually cut an inch or two off of my nose gear strut to level my KR, but the extra clearence wouldn't hurt either. Good luck.
