By you guys experience, will this be enough to make granny shifts good? Considering it *barely* shifts right now, sometimes.
A drive-side spacer with your current 116mm spindle, that was already mentioned, can help. Otherwise, I ride a quad so I had to look for all kinds of tweaks to make standard components to work with it. In the derailleur I remember doing some filing to increase the range by which it swung. It sounds like do not need much to make it work.
