Six inch wheels on 750 Cruzer

Is it possible (easy) to put the six inch wheels for from the 750 STOL on the Cruzer? What components would I need to order instead of the standard Cruzer landing gear, wheels and brakes? In addition to the 750 STOL wheels and tires, would I need 750 STOL brakes? Are the main and nose wheel landing gear different too? Are there any downsides to this idea? Thanks!

I know the nose fork is much different but am not sure of all the differences.

I ordered my kit with the STOL wheels and brakes, I wanted bigger tires.

RAA Chapter 85 was not looking for stall performance, so ordered the 750 Cruzer w wheel pants. Realizing bigger tires an no wheel pants would be better for the grass strip we fly off of, we exchanged the Cruzer gear for STOL gear before installing it. If you contact Zenith they will be able to tell you which parts you would need to change.
