    Unless it's one of the aero trailers that's higher in the back and actually 13'7", my guess is he plans on running low pros, making it 13'4" since he said 13'4" and mid roof. A mid roof can get way under 13'4", the trailer would be the issue here.

    What do you think? Obviously only due it for a lower clearance trailer or bobtailing which is a lot for me.

    Yeah moving trailers around locally then going home. I also meant that my trailers are under 13 6 like flatbed and tanker trailers which is a lot not just bobtailing.

    Chrome turbo wings are for looks, kinda popular 20 years ago, and they likely increase drag rather than make it better.
