He mentioned some valuable points.
Mine would almost touch and kinda would on low pro 22's with the bags dumped.

Will be pulling step decks, hi boy, super b, cattle, gravel, tanker, and detach. These are all the trailers me and my father have. We are truck for hire basically. Now set pickup/drop offs an can be uneven ground at times. Also some winter road work. His Pete has the same fenders and runs 22.5 and has 3.5" difference from fender to plate. His plate height is 48.5" hen suspension is lifted. I don't really wanna put them closer than 1/2" as I will have to drive with th detach neck on when suspension is deflated. My plate is also at 48.5" when suspension in inflated. I do have to buy new drive tires but I don't really want to go with loo pro because I already have new steers which and don't want it to look funny. Also I imagine the ride might be a bit worse and wouldn't absorb rocks or whatever as well. My other trucks plate is sitting at 49.5" after I put a taller stand on it. Not sure how high I want the plate to be. I was also thinking about mounting to the axle but I don't know how that would last.

I had WTI full fenders on my 95 Pete, low air leaf with the low slider and I put the 4.5" riser on for the plate. I did a ton of jobsite and field work and every ding I put in them was my own fault. I would definitely put another set on.

As of today I am officially done with the oilfield. On to bigger and better things

Any idea what height above fenders you had? I will 1.5" an I guess I'll search around for a stand that's 1.5" taller so I'll 3" an my plate will be 50" off the floor at ride height.

I'd say 3 inches minimum with those style fenders. I try to have 5 inches for flat or double hump full fenders, and you can get by with 3 inches on flat half fenders. I also wouldn't go any closer than a half inch with air out. You can also block you suspension up so it does drop as far, but I don't like doing that especially if you have a detach.

hotfarm1066 · 10-06-2015, 08:46 PM

My trucks plate height is around 49. So with our pulling tailer you are around 14 ft. Which isn't terrible, but I have dumped my air ride going under a over pass just in case.

Ya the more the better. The poly fenders should have some forgiveness when a trailer hits it so hopefully 3" will be enough an I can find a plate with enough height. My binder has a 7" stand but I don't want to pull it off of there because the original one wild catch trailers with the frame loo

Hill competition filmed inside cab. Listen through the headphones or good speakers to hear the engine, computer speakers can not reproduce low frequencies.

A little carnage from the pull.

Valve.

Valve seat.

Piston in that cylinder.

Bearings starting to go in the charger.
