I have a question .  Did I miss something about this nose gear  conversion losing some ground clearance?  The reason for my concern is  that I have a prop that is 2" longer than Vans  recommends.  I have 200 HP spinning the Hartzel and only loosing  1" of ground clearance I thought I would not have a problem.

  

 Please someone I the know please advise.

You shouldn't lose any ground clearance.  Yes, the gear leg is 1"  

shorter, but the new fork is at a steeper angle, so the axle ends up  

in the same place as before.
