Would more room make loading easier or harder?
Even with extended dually swing-out brackets, I only have about 1.5" of clearance between the fenders of my 2002 Chevy 3500 DRW and the jack posts on my Palomino B1500 TC.
The outer duals just rub the jack feet as I back through. There is no room for error.
The upside to this is that I can't back in crooked. If I squeak between the jack feet, the camper lands perfectly on the truck every time.
The downside to this is it is VERY stressful. If I'm off by even a fraction I could knock the camper off its jacks if I'm not paying attention. Not to mention the excessive body damage.
I am considering welding another 2" extension on each swing-out bracket to gain myself some more clearance on the outside.
Will the added clearance outside help with loading and unloading?
