so I pulled the trigger and hacked away my bent up ass trailer and started the rebuild..
414326


heres the question..
drive over fenders
414327
Im looking at about 6" up travel as it sits now ..so say with a loaded trailer 5000 lbs how much up travel do yall think I got..I can take closer pics of the leafs if necessary

reason is I want to cut away any unnecesary fender to make it easier for the rig to get up and over the well.
.say if the front locker goes out......I wouldnt have to use the winch and stilll have a shot at gettin it on the trailer , or for that fact a rig with no winch ??

I think you will run out of up travel when the axle hits the trailer frame, that is how I would measure it. As for the rest of the pics, I just don't know what to say:confused:

I don't know how much help this will be, but I went and measured the distance from the top of my tire to the bottom edge of my fenders. The trailer is a 16ft gooseneck trailer with two 7k axles. The tires are 225/75/15. The trailer is loaded with my toyota which weighs around 4k i'm guessing. The distance that I measured was 4in. The trailer has drive over fenders. Like I said I don't know if this measurement will help out any just thought I throw it out there.
