I bought a 03 rocket.want to use the center section out of my old warrior. I know I need 33 and 36 in. Axles. But what are the tube lengths?

Add 5" to the axle length for the correct tube length

The tube is 6 inches SHORTER (not longer) than the axle. The tube can't be longer than the axle.
This is for a Winters but I'm pretty sure all the brands are pretty much the same on this.

the warrior rear should be the same you might want to check and make sure your measuring correct

You are correct about the right side 36 but the left on Warrior is 32. And rocket needs to be 33.

Get a 1" wheel spacer. A lot of newer rockets come with the shorter tube and a spacer.

whoops! Sorry about that guys, I shouldn't post after being awake that long lol

I ran across a picture on pitstop usa's site that showed the 5" difference. Thanks for the clarification Matt!

If I use the 1 inch spacer, will I be able to get my bird cage in the proper place?
