Default Tail Dragger Conversion For A Trainer

I bought a CG Eagle 2 to learn how to fly again. It is a great flying plane. I was surprised how fast I got the rust out of my system. It is very stable and forgiving which is a plus with me. I was never very good anyway but I want to convert this to a tail dragger so I can learn to fly it before I buy a more aerobatic low wing tail dragger. What I am asking is what are some of the better manufacturers of main gear and tail wheel kits? The bottom of my fuselage is 3 7/8" . I would like wide and tall main gear for ground clearence and good ground characteristics. I fly off of and land on grass and concrete (conrete when I am brave). I think I would need 2 3/4" or 3" wheels to handle grass to help it from nosing over. The tail wheel on the other hand I have no clue. Any help, tips, or suggestions would be appreciated.
