Anyone put a lift on their trailer to raise it up?

    I had a similar problem with a steeper driveway. I worked with my boat dealer (White Lake Marine) on how to solve the issue. They worked with the trailer manufacturer and determined they could raise my EZ Loader trailer. They had to make two adjustments as the first time it didn't quite raise it high enough, but the second adjustment did work. WLM did say that if the second adjustment didn't work they could put taller tires on to raise it another inch or so. I am not entirely certain what they did, but overall I think they raised the trailer and therefore the prop guard about 3 inches or more.

      Thanks for sharing. I have decided to keep the boat and trailer at the lake to avoid trailering it and dealing with the driveway. I think the only solution in my case would be to raise it several inches and then I’d have several inches of a gap between the fenders and tires....do you have a large gap between the fender and tire?

        Yes it increased the space between the tire and fender. I have 4.5" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender lip. I think it looks fine and from a distance you don't really notice any difference. Larger tires would fill in the space better. Here is a picture from the side.

          Thanks again for sharing. If something changes for me and I start bringing it back home, I might have to go that route. It seems it’s the only alternative to stop the prop guard from hitting the driveway.
