What am I missing? Hotend crashing the bed with new arms

Have a Rostock Max V2 that I upgraded to the HE280 hotend and had 269mm arms on it. Been chasing some bed tilt issues and decided to throw on a set of 300mm arms that I have. Now I go to calibrate and the print head crashes into the bed. what do i need to change and where to get it back to where it will calibrate. I have changed the arm length in Configurations.H but I'm still crashing into the bed.

I am at work so I do not have any specifics, but I think while calibrating it first goes to a certain height and then starts probing. Because of the longer arms you mounted, the first stop, before it starts probing is below the bed surface. Have you tried setting z=zero the old fashioned way? Calibration just might work after you do that (and store it to eeprom).

What direction does it go when you ask it to home?

It homes correctly they only thing I changed was the delta arms. I have in the meantime swapped them back. Printer does fantastic within a small circle once you get 50 or so mm away from the center the bed tilt issue rears its UGLY head.

That looks like ABS peeling rather than an arm issue, it'd be curved on top also if it were an arm issue?
In the EProm settings there's the arm length value, did you change that to match the new arms?
