Recommendations For Raising Bunk Boards On Trailer 2" Higher
Question:
Do you have any 4x4 7ft bunks for PWC trailer. I need to lift my jet skis about 2 higher. I cannot find hardware brackets for my 2 x 2 trailer cross member to raise my bunk height? I thought the simplest way would be to change my bunks from 2x4 to 4x4. Your thoughts?

Expert Reply:
The easiest way to raise your bunk height is replacing the bunk brackets like taller ones, like the 10" Tall Bunk Bracket # CE10162A40.
If you let me know how tall your current bunk brackets are I can check to see if I can find one at least 2" taller.
If there is no taller bunk brackets available, then you could absolutely use 4" x 4" bunk boards instead but you'll need to buy some treated 4" x 4"s at the hardware store and then wrap then in the bunk board carpet # CE11349 as there's no commercial 4" x 4" bunk boards offered.
