    The steps are cut off the trailer. I would like to attach the fenders to the axels somehow so they move with the wheels that way I chould have 1in. or less between the tire and the fender. Do you guys know of any kits or someone who has done this?
    Thanks, for responding

    Thanks, for responding What in GODS green earth are you smoking???? . The best way to achieve what your trying to do is just like Mike's trailer (after photo). Whenever i've mounted fenders and wanted to get the tire stuffed up inside so it looked "COOL" I had the boat loaded on the trailer and then i'd rest a 2x4 flat on top of the tires and then rest the fender on top of them and mount the fender off of that. Never had an issue and the trailer looked lowered. If Dossangers has a pic of his trailer it will give you an idea of what i'm talking about. His has steps but you'll get the idea. Now on Mike's "after" shot you can see the angle that is bolted to the frame and it should have three supports that come of that angle that attach the steel plate in which the fender attaches too. You'd have to put the wheels and tires on the trailer to get the correct measurement (height wise) so the steel plate was tall enough to grab the lip of the fender so as to attach the fender to it and still get the look your looking for. Now that i've confused myself :hammer2: i'll stop. Hope this helps you out.

    Billy now you have confused the hell out of me :mix:
    Everyone has nice trailers but what I THINK what I want is somewhere between Mikes and gofast, clean and simple(Mikes) with some flash(gofast) and try to hold some of the nostalgic look of the 70´s. I think I will stick with Billy´s idea about the 2x4 concidering my wheels are about 1½ inches or less from the cradle for the springs and I didnt think about the fender twisting. but no matter how good the plan is it always gets changed mid-stream but I´ll never admit it! Billy you have a good idea and I´m stick´in with it...I have 7 months to get this plan together and 3 months too attack it so I have plenty of time too get it right (I HOPE)
    Thanks again guys!!!
