Kampco A8517 Aluminum Fender Flare — 4-1/2" Wide × 72" Long × 20" High | Tandem Axle
The Kampco A8517 is a smooth .90 aluminum teardrop-style fender flare designed for tandem axle enclosed cargo trailers. Features a single-radius profile with a rounded teardrop front edge and a flat 90° back leg with a 3/4" exposed mounting lip. Not pre-drilled — fits left or right side. Sold individually.
Constructed from .090 aluminum — significantly thicker than the standard .063 factory thickness on most OEM trailer fenders. The added thickness reduces vibration cracking, eliminates flex, and produces a noticeably more rigid and durable fender that holds its shape over years of road use.

🔍 What Makes This Different from Factory Fenders
Most enclosed trailers ship from the factory with .063" aluminum fender flares. Kampco's A8517 is built to .090" thickness — over 40% thicker than standard. In practice this means:
- No oil-canning — thicker aluminum holds its shape under load and vibration instead of flexing and rippling
- Crack resistance — vibration cracking at the mounting holes is one of the most common failure modes on thin factory fenders; heavier gauge aluminum significantly reduces this
- Cleaner look — the stiffer material lays flatter and stays flatter over time
💪 Key Features
✔ Teardrop Single-Radius Profile
The teardrop front provides a finished, professional look. The single radius means one smooth curved surface from front to back — no compound bend, no sharp transitions. Clean and easy to paint or leave natural aluminum.
✔ Universal Left/Right — Not Pre-Drilled
Mount on either the driver or passenger side. Drill your own mounting holes to match your trailer's existing pattern — works with virtually any enclosed trailer frame configuration.
✔ 3/4" Mounting Lip — 90° Back Leg
The flat 90° back leg provides a secure, flush contact surface against the trailer frame. The 3/4" exposed lip gives you adequate mounting surface without excessive overhang.
✔ Kampco Quality — Made for the Trailer Industry
Kampco Steel Products is an OEM supplier to major enclosed trailer manufacturers. This is the same aluminum used on new trailer builds — not an aftermarket approximation.
✔ Widest Tandem Axle Flare Available
At 4-1/2" wide, the A8517 provides the most tire coverage in the tandem axle lineup — ideal when your trailer runs wider tires or when you want full coverage with no exposed tire edge visible from the side.
