Dimensions, height of west coast mirrors

[mackts]

I'm wanting to buy an M35A2 and would like to fit it through my 8 foot gate so that I can park it behind the fence instead of on the driveway. My gate opening is about 8'-1/8" wide and the fence is a 6' privacy fence. Would the west coast mirrors be high enough to clear the fence? At what height from the ground do they extend wider than 8 feet? I would appreciate some dimensions, in case I have to make something for the deuce to drive up on in order for the mirrors to clear the fence. Also, I'm wanting to get the G177 11R20 tires.

Thanks for your help.

1) You will have about 69", measured from the mirror arm's vertical post-lower tip, down to ground.
2) Distance between vertical posts is 93", so after folding-in both sides outer brackets/ mirror heads it would barely fit through that gate opening.

The mirrors easily fold in (they were designed to do that for loading onto transport) even when the bolts are seemingly tight. You can fold one or both in prior to driving it through the gate. If you have spot mirrors they may be mounted even lower than the big mirrors. Even with the mirrors folded in going through an 8' foot gate is going to be tight.
