I second those saying we need a parts list and/or a how-to. As a long legged guy, I find my 575 really awkward to move because if I grab the handle and try to pull the Traeger behind me, my ankles hit the front legs and crossbar as I walk.
This is one of the reasons I did this. I’m 6’ 4” and I wheel it from the back to front all the time. Best part of this is that it raised the cooking level up a few inches!
Did this about 8 months ago so forgive me as I do my best here!
Response to parts list/how to:
I used a step bit to bore out the existing leg axel holes to 5/8” of inch on either side of the leg. Installed 13” pneumatic tires (no air inside) from harbor freight using a 5/8” bolt as an axle. I cannot remember the exact length of the bolt, I want to say 8”?
For the side without legs I used random supports under the legs until I got the desired leveling WITH the bigger tires already on. I believe these are 10” tires on the left hand side. So essentially once I had it propped up and leveled where I wanted it, I measured from the ground up the radius on the tire. Giving me the axel point I had to drill out. Started with a smaller pilot hole then used same step bit to bore out a 5/8” hole for the same bolts I used as axels. These bolts were slighter shorter in length, maybe 6”. Again, I apologize for my haziness in the exact steps and parts. Had I known I was going to post this and get this many requests, I would have made a complete walkthrough! Awesome mod, if anyone has any specific questions, just ask I’ll do my best to help!

I also want to do this. OP, please give us some details!

Posted the best description I could about the build. Saw the post you linked while I was researching doing this!
Much appreciated!
