The landing gear you are referring to is the "bush gear".If you go to
highwing llc.com you will see a picture of my "bush gear" I bought this from
Lowell Fixx and it was a bolt on installation. Everything fit perfectly. You
use your old wheels,brakes and axles.
I have flown with this gear for over 50 hrs now. It is a vast improvement
over the old gear. Better ground handling, No bungees,gear spread
increases by almost 3 ft,no weight increase....it doesn't get any better. I even
sold my old gear on EBAY so recovered a major portion of the purchase price.
John McBean at Kitfox also offers this style of gear (albeit using
different wheels,brakes,axles..last time I checked)
You also have the option of the tough heavier all aluminum spring gear
from Grove.

The axles, wheels and brakes can be the same.. However, we also offer
the
larger axle size if one wants to go to tires like the 26 or 29=94
Alaskan Bush
Tires.
So basically we offer all 4 gear systems, Bungee, Grove-Aluminum, Bush
Gear
with =BE axles (your existing ones or new) and 1.25=94 axles for those
already
using a different wheel and brake system or wanting to go to the Much
larger
tires.
Fly Safe !!
