Seeing no replies to your question I'll offer my "opinion". If you are building a tail dragger I'd leave them full length. A nose dragger may require you to shorten them to match the nose gear. If you expect your KR to come in around the 700-750 pound range, many do now days, I'd leave them original thickness and cut them to the contour of the Diehl legs. I've got 30" Diehl gear legs and I thickened them a bit. That's my "opinion" based on my experience. Jeff Scott has the only other set of 30" inch legs and I don't know if he "thickened" them or not. Mine seemed to be a bit soft with two people , early in the build process. Larry Flesner
