A Closer Look at the Mounting Brackets for Trailer Fender Video

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

You can replace a 4.80-8 trailer tire with a 4.80-12 or a 5.30-12 trailer tire, but there are a few things to consider before making the change. First, 4.80-12 and 5.30-12 tires are going to have a larger overall diameter than a 4.80-8 tire, by about…

For a 4.80-12 trailer tire, the overall diameter or height is 20.5 inches. For a 5.30-12 it is 21.9 inches. That is a difference of 1.4 inches but you will only see half of that, 0.7 inches, in added height. Please keep in mind that going to a taller…

The only trailer component that determines the speed rating of the trailer is the tires. All you have to do is simply replace your current tires with one that is rated for highway use, like the Kenda Loadstar #AM3S120 that you referenced, and you are…

I would recommend replacing the tires along with the wheels on your utility trailer. The tires that you currently have on your trailer are passenger car tires which can be identified by the P at the beginning of the tire size and it is not a common…

If by radius you mean the length of a line segment from the center of a sphere to its perimeter then it is 11-3/4 inches given that the overall length of the fender #CE17701G is 23-1/2 inches. Because the fender is not a true half circle, this does…

We have the mounting brackets you will be needing to mount the CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fender, #CE17937G. The CE Smith Brackets for Trailer Fenders, #CE26098G-2, will allow you to connect the CE Smith fenders to your trailer. The brackets, like…

Thanks for the photo. Honestly 5 inches of clearance from the fender to the top of the tire is fine if that is what you desire. We normally recommend 4 inches to allow for the suspension travel whether with leaf springs or torsion axles to allow…

Yes you certainly can. In order to bolt-on a set of metal weld-on fenders such as the Single Axle Trailer Fender part #HP29VR you will need a set of mounting brackets such as the Mounting Brackets for Trailer Fender part #CE26098G-2. If you do not…

For a single axle trailer, you want the shackle strap to be able to move so that you have the spring deflection needed for your suspension. Angled like the photo or even almost vertical is fine you just don't want the shackle strap to bind and…

This sounds like a ground problem on the right side. The turn signal not working makes sense because with the brake lights, there is a constant signal coming through which is enough to make the lights illuminate on both sides like they should. But…
