Height of 26 on a trailer?

What's the approximate height of a 26 on a trailer? I know it will depend on the trailer but an estimate will work. A friend wants one but wants to make sure it will fit in his garage.

Mine sits about 8 feet on a load rite trailer.

I seem to remember mine to be 7' to the top of the windscreen,but maybe my memory isn't so good, I forget

8' seems about right. There are options though. You can dig out the driveway as such that the rear wheels of the truck dip low enough when the windscreen passed under the lowest portion of the door. You can also get a low hanging drawbar for the truck or perhaps use a tractor/UTV to back it into the garage.

Well I got a chance to measure mine after Sydwayz "claim" of 8'. Mine is 7' 2" to the top of the windscreen, typical AT cult member sensationalizing everything! Steve

LOL

10:1 you have a steel trailer don't you Steve? Mine was on an aluminum bunk which will sit higher.

Brian, You're right about me having a steel trailer, from the midwest that's pretty typical. I still say you AT guys stretch the truth though

Steve P.S. Do you think you're Nostradamus, 10:1 most trailers in saltwater are aluminum (or galvanized)!
