Anyone know how long carriage bolts are needed to add a second wheel weight to the rear tires?

The manual calls for a 6 1/4 in carriage bolt.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

I just went through this. 8" bolts stick out but they aren't the furthest point out either. 7" was a nice middle ground. I also used connecting (?) bolts so that I could bolt things extra tight. I prefer to over do it.

The thing I quickly found so far was that my cub with double weights and loaded tires does a crap job when it's icy. Front wheels were in the grass and I was stuck. Last year I had NO issues when chains were on and single weights.

If no ice, the weights are sufficient,but if it gets icy, chains are needed. IMHO.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
