I have a 2010 JKU with Dana 60s and cannot find a trailer other than a flat bed wide enough for the 87 inch girth. What are you guys using??

I'd look at something like the PJ Trailers 5" Channel Buggy Trailer. It has drive over fenders and has a bunch of available options.

Otherwise you'd be looking at one of the deckover options from PJ/Big Tex/others. Those are also really nice but the downside is they are a big trailer (width wise) and I think even more importantly the CG of your load starts getting high.

Probably depends on what other uses you have in mind and what your tow vehicle is.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I don't remember how wide my JK measures, but it is on 60s with 40" Irok's. It squeeeezes through the fender on my Kaufman trailer. I'm not a fan of deck over trailers for the higher CG and wind resistance but they really aren't too bad depending what you are pulling with. A couple of things to think about if you haven't already: 1) you need a 10k gvw trailer. Your JK is probably over 6k lbs, the trailer itself will be at least 1500 lbs. and you'll always throw extra crap in too. This will put you way over weight with a 7k gvw. 2) check to make sure the tires are rated for the load! Lots of trailers come with tires rated less than the trailer gvw. 3) don't forget the spare along with a lug wrench to fit and a jack. I love the little ramp thingy as a jack. Works awesome. 4) you might think about a gooseneck trailer depending what you use it for overall. goosenecks are awesome but of course more money and there are some obvious drawbacks.
