I widened my HT to 8' 6", I was going to 9', but then decided not to, I didnt want to worry about trailering it. I got beams from Forte, www.forterts.com, they sell them in 10' lengths, so I had some extra which I made risers from for the rear beams. This worked out great, and now I have a backrest to lean on when I am driving. All the other systems work perfectly with the wider beams, including the rigging. The only consideration is the tramp, which i will need to be widened, and I had replaced the tramp with a new one that laced up on the sides. Kinder can make you a "Acat style" tramp and I can suppy pictures if you need them to give to kinder. www.kinder-industries.com
