| My truck currently has a Holland low profile riser / slide bracket and is considered a 6.63" height.
I am getting ready to install a set of fiberglass rear ( fenders ( flat top ) over the tandems, and curious how much you guys had to increase the 5th wheel height.
I put my truck and dump trailer in its most severe ( turned/ twisted ) position to measure clearance and I presently have about 4 1/2" from tire to trailer frame.
I am thinking I need a good 2"-3" clearance under the fenders for tire clearance and another 4"-5" for trailer to fender clearance ?
Holland makes a 10.12" bracket so I am only gaining roughly 3 1/2" there and so would probably have to build and block up from frame from there.....does this sound correct ?
Buddy and I have installed a few fenders on customer trucks, but never quite this extreme and those trucks were pulling vans and flatbeds, and those customers dont see the severe angles coming out of fields like my scenario either.
So....what are your measurements from top of 5th wheel plate to frame do you guys have ? just wanting something to compare to.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
