Do like I suggested on your post- Start reading the posts that say "Yerfdog" these forum members have great mod's for your Spiderbox.
This what I did-
First mod- remove rack-n-pinion. Carefully file or grind (if you're talented) 2 more grooves on each side of the rack, they have to be right for it to work smoothly-TAKE YOUR TIME.
Now that it'll turn the tires are going to rub!!! This is the time to plan for a wheel/hub change/upgrade. I added 2-1/2" to the spindle for clearance and upgraded to 3/4" axle with homemade hubs drilled for 4" on 4" bolt pattern. I have 21x7x10 tires on it now and could still go wider and taller with that extension.Sorry for the dark pics.
