I'm looking for the tubing dimension of the front and rear tubes of the "heavy duty" landing gear for the PA-18. Looking at manufacturers that sell this nominal type of landing gear, I haven't been able to find out the front and rear tube ODs for comparison.
According to Piper drawing 10033, tube 82352-40 (which is 1.375" in diameter) is used as the front tube for the landing gear in the 10033-5/6 configuration. 82352-41/42, which has an OD of 1.25", is used for the rear tubes. These is the heaviest duty specs I could find. How do the aftermarket heavy duty landing gears vary from the Piper drawing?
