Without seeing your particular one I don't know but we replaced ours and it wasn't a problem. It gives you all of the pieces that go on the top (the arms and poles to adjust it). So we basically Took our old back board off and the frame at the top and had a tall pole with holes open at the top and that was it. All the rest came in the box.

I replaced my Lifetime cracked backboard with this Lifetime 44 inch backboard. There were some differences, however, it did fit. Keep some of your old fittings, and you'll figure it out.

I would call the S.R. Smith customer service number which you can get via google and speak to someone about the differences. Also, you need to make sure that your existing base has the correct holes which need to be measured. We bought a replacement and went with the less expensive option because it has MUCH more flex and are very happy with it. We do run a risk of it cracking more easily, but no problems yet, and a really stiff board just isn't fun so we are happy we switched.

I am not sure. I didn't try to do that. looking at it now, it may work, but you should check out the smaller hoop that they sell. it is really for children and is a bit over 2 pounds. I would think if you could change the diameter, it would have told you that in the directions, but that was not mentioned.

It will not fit it does not expand very far. However I do have an idea. I assume you are either concerned with someone using or stealing your rim? Perhaps consider a cable & lock - it would still be pretty effective in securing the hoop. If you need more ideas post a reply and I'll post them.

Good afternoon, I would submit that it is cheaper and my economical to just order the replacement Backboard and Rim. I shopped around and after looking at prices and wear and tear it was the right decision. I don't believe there is an alternative in replacing U-Bolts.

The rim adjusts from 7.5 feet up to the standard 10 ft. Our hoop is exactly that.

I haven't had any issues with mine. I'm not sure if this will help you, but maybe you can try this link. http://m.sportsunlimitedinc.com/basketball-hoop-parts-and-accessories.html

I do not know, however, this is a very sturdy backboard and support system. I agree with Eric. You might be able to break it if you tried hard enough like hanging on the rim or something like that, but I doubt you can hurt it with everyday normal/reasonable play.

Too bad no one can answer Ken's question.After a decade of service, my family & I and the local weather just managed to break a Lifetime backboard & hoop connected to a pole and base designed to stand up on or near a driveway. The pole is fine, and years ago I spent hours filling the base with sand to withstand the local winds and basketball fans, which it still does most of the time.Too bad I can't buy a replacement backboard and hoop guaranteed to fit my existing base and pole... especially since it is all... gasp... apparently Made in America!

I would get a different board honestly. This thing has way to much flex that it was scratching the ground in the middle even with 1/2" risers which eventually led to it snapping in half. To answer your question though any standard size longboard trucks (9") with 70mm or bigger wheels will work.

If you notice the hoop is adjustable in the back. Once you get everything in and put together, you attach a tape measure to the lip of the rim and turn the adjustment until the lip of the rim is 10 ft above the playing surface. OR you can make the surfaces the same height by using 2X8's or 2x10's as forms...whichever is easier.

No the hoop is not wide enough. However it comes with a small ball when you order the product.

Well, the backboard wasn't as thick as I had hoped. Given that it's mounted from the ground up on a pole there is a little more "play" on the backboard for bank shots. However, it plays a lot better than the b ball hoops that are just mounted from a sand or water filled plastic base. For the price it's not a bad hoop. Installation was relatively easy. It helps having a 15 year old son willing to do the grunt work. The ground in AZ isn't the easiest thing to dig.

It should be not too bad to get over. Just put it in the high setting and tilt it back. If all fails you could just make a ramp with some boards.

It's all plastic so it won't hurt it. The only thing that will deteriorate would be the black backboard might fade, the net probably won't last as long, and the decals on the backboard will probably peel off.

Probably not. I didn't even ride it before it cracked, just stood on it. And it doesn't turn very well either. I would recommend spending a bit more for a better board.

The height (top of backboard) at the 7' position will be just below 10'. About 9'6"-8". And the unit is easily movable as long as you aren't trying to push it on much of an incline. They actually are some of the easiest moving portable hoops I've seen despite being the heaviest. Also I recommend having a sander for joining the two main poles together when assembling to get some of the paint off to slide down to the desired length much easier. You will enjoy the basketball system a lot if you decide to purchase it.
