Tallest Bunk Bolster Brackets to Clear Trailer Tires on a Boat Trailer
Question:
I need 6 bunk vertical brackets which will allow for clearance of trailer tires. The tires are 10 1/2inch above trailer cross members. i.e. with the 2x8inch bunk board actually 1 1/2inch thickness I will need at least 10inch of height in order to safely clear the tires. Thanks!

Your best option is going to be bolster bracket set # CE10196G-4 which is a quantity of 4 so if you wanted 6 you would need 2 sets and you would have a couple of spares should they be needed. These are 16-1/4 inches long with some adjustability due to the slotted holes. For u-bolts use # CE15283GA-8 (which is a set of 8 because each needs 2 u-bolts).
