Joe, why did you add 'sweep' to the new gear? Have flown the original gear on my Integral for several years and actually would like a gear with a little less sweep. Reason being, as you move the CG forward, you are taking weight off the tail wheel and it gets a bit difficult to turn around in a stiff cross wind. We do fly from paved runways so taxi back after a flight is normal. Grass field handling might be a different situation. You are also increasing the torsional load on the gear box as you move the wheel location toward the rear, so if you 'drop one in' on a rough landing, the twist on the fuselage gear box is amplified with the wheels moved to the rear.

Have had no issues with the original gear height, even running 21" props.
