Pro tip:
In the following steps you will be assembling the suspension. If installing large tires, you may want to
temporarily install the tires and wheels before the spring so you can cycle the suspension easier. Once tires and
wheels are installed, compress the suspension till it hits the bump stops. Then hold up the fenders to the side of
the trailer body lining up the existing fender mounting holes. Check for tire clearance, you want a few inches of
clearance around the tire to the fender. If needed, raise the fender, make sure its level and use the fenders
mounting holes as a template and mark new fender mounting holes. If raising the fender make sure you raise it
high enough so you can plug the existing mounting holes with a bolt or use a silicon sealer. It is recommended to
use a bolt with silicon sealer to plug the holes. Make sure to check fender to side door clearance. Generally,
you can fit most 37” tires with the fender mounted in the pre-drilled holes. Remember the suspension will
travel almost straight up and down. If raising the fender you may have to extend the taillight wiring. In most
cases you can fit up to a 37” tire with the fenders in the lowest position.
Install fenders using M10 hardware. Use thread locker on hardware and torque to 28 ft/lb. The sandwich plate
goes on the inside of the trailer. You will insert the button head bolts from the inside to the outside. This gives
the interior smoother walls and the sandwich plate provides added strength. Do not use the fenders as steps.
The bottom most forward and rear fender mounting botls can be installed from the outside inward.
