Pros and Cons on adding extension beyond basic swing out?

Seems like at least once a season I have to buff out rear fenders from loading/unloading the T/C. Have been thinking about a simple plate, piece of steel to move out. Seems like only real limitation is keeping from blocking rear cab door
Has anyone actually done this???

I'm familiar with limited clearance. The feet on my jacks rub the tires as I'm backing in.

What's nice about being tight is that if you get between the jacks, you're home free, perfectly centered.

My first recommendation is to back up more carefully. If you see it headed for the fender, STOP, pull ahead, and readjust. Don't just keep backing until you hear that sickening scrape.

You only have 3/4" of clearance on each side at the wheel wells, so if you have that much or more on the outside, you've got plenty of clearance.

I adjust the mirrors to point right at the fenders so I'll know if I'm going to hit.
