I just bought an air deflector that is 64" by 34" and will be bolting it to my trailer in front of the tire rack. You've seen these deflectors on big diesel trucks, kind of looks like a big snow board.
I might have to move the tire rack back 6 inches to get the rake I want, but here is my question? Is it better to mount it low or high? I can mount it on the trailer A frame, directly behind the triangle aluminum box, but I'd have to move the tire rack back at least 6". I can mount it next to the back lip (cover) of the aluminum box but will still have to move the tire rack. In any event, where will I get the best air flow to help mileage? |

the cover just keeps the wind out of the box. You still have two areas that create vacuum. the back of the actual cab, and then the back of the box at the tail gate.
your car sits so low and the tire rack is even pretty low...so I am not sure there will be a huge difference, but you will definitely keep some debris off the front of 222. I am probably completely wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
