I just got some used car tires with 15" rims that i plan to squeeze on my g-cat 5.0 trailer. i will have to boost the fender height. I might do a "coil over" or mount the trailer cross beams under the trailer frame to reduce the ride height. I had to launch on a sandy ramp two days ago with the mini trailer tires and i was dragging my axle through the sand.

That P 19 looks a little shy in the port bow department...
Is it a kit?

What kind of hardware would you use to mount these on the standard 2" square crossbar? Is it something you have to fabricate or are there stock parts available?
I need this for a Hobie 14 trailer, currently using several pool noodles duck taped together.

You can buy the brackets but would be pricey with S&H, easier to fabricate......
2 lengths of 2" x 1" channel steel from your local steel supplier, approximately 8" long. Drop rubber stop into channel steel, mount, leave a 2"- 4" space drop 2nd rubber stop in, mount. Attach to forward cross-arm, do same again on other side. Are you going with rollers on the rear cross-arms?

I must be dense, not following your instructions. That bow roller needs a pin or bolt through it, don't understand how your description or the pictured part works with it.

I apologize Damon, the pic above is a standard bracket for the rubber stop on a motor boat trailer, ignore it. So you want 2 lengths of channel steel approx 8" long, and you want 2"x1" channel steel, 2" base with 1" sides. Invert the channel steel so that the open end is up,
drop the rubber stop into channel, drill a hole all the way through sides of channel for a bolt with lock-nut or a pin to "mount" or secure stop in place. If I remember correctly, the base of the rubber stopper is 1" in height so when you drop it into the channel, the steel lip sits at the base of the "V". Space the 2 rubber stops on either end of the 8" length of channel steel so you have a gap in between for drilling holes to mount your bracket at right angles to the cross-arms.
Hope that helps.....

So are you saying use two of the bow rollers for each side? Four total for one cross-arm?
I think I see what you are saying now. Thanks for the clarification.
