That's what I was talking about, couldn't find the pic. I meant 2 foot, not 2 inch, though... so typo that.

A camper shell would work great, and if you're the kind of person that can modify things, you can actually get the front of the shell to a much more conducive angle without much work, because of the way they're constructed. You can literally remove the trim, peel back the aluminum skin, change the wood frame to a shape that you like, then trim and re-apply the aluminum skin. It's a one day job, at best.

That would also give you cab-top storage space inside the shell, and yet another removable option in case you're driving around w/o the trailer at some point.

I think you're on the right track with the camper shell and some fender extensions to cover the tires up a bit.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
