DRW Swing out bracket extensions? .
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...

I had to add them to my F350 for the Bigfoot 9.6. Even with the swingout brackets, there was about minus 1" clearance between the fenders and jacks. It simply did not fit. I used 2x2x1/8 wall tubing to space them out, but worried about the additional stress on the camper attachment, already stressed a bit by the swingout offset. So I welded 1" tubing across top and bottom, to take the torque introduced by the offset. I don't think I have picture of it but I will look. It worked perfectly for 12 years. My new 10.4 Bigfoot has the camper attachment mounted further out, so with dually swing outs, the jacks clear by about 1" each side, plenty of clearance.
