All right, if I understand dfkrug's suggestion bending the arms out will make this worse. They need to be bent inward. I just took delivery of a new 2008 2520 in April and I'm going to insist my dealer get me this fix for nothing. I'll let you all know how I make out. I'm on the line with him right now as we speak (on hold). I'll be darned if I'm paying $600 more dollars to fix this.

BTW, I would think that wheel spacers would be no big deal for those of us without a back hoe and who never carry really heavy implements on the back. The axles and bearings must be designed to take some very heavy loads to account for all the stuff tractor users can sometimes hang off the back. The axles are at least 8 inches long already and I can't believe 20% increase in moment would take anything over the limit. But then again I can't believe that JD would design a tractor that can't hook up many Cat 1 implements either.
