mini tubs

I was told on another part of the website to post this here in suspension as you guys would have the answer.

I am going to take the advice of many of you here and go the trailer fender route for minitubs.

My question is how do you figure out the size that you need? My rear tires are 27" in diameter.

What size have you used?

Re: mini tubs

What truck are you doing this on? Also how wide do you need to go. Trailer fenders vary and you may have the best luck going to a trailer dealer or a place like Northern amd pulling a tape on the ones they have. When I tubbed my 66 step side I used fleet side wheel wells and the micky thompsons fit under the just fine.

Re: mini tubs

for sizing i usually take a tape measure and measure the size hole i've got to fill, make a sketch with dimensions and bring sketch and tape measure with me when i go lookin at stuff to buy

wheelbarrows or the tubs for mixing concrete sometimes make good mini tubs
