Default Got my ramps made



My new ramps cost about $40.

A little over 11 feet to the trailer.

Yes the vette get up and down pretty easy. Now I have to figure out how to carry the ramps. They are longer than the bed of my Ridgeland. I still have a week to figure it out. Thanks for the kind words

They're pretty aerodynamic how about just strapping them to the roof of the vette

Angled properly they might give you a little lift for better fuel economy!!

Can you put them in the bed of the pickup with the tops on the roof? How about putting them under the Vette with the ends sticking out behind the trailer. Just leave room for suspension.

I can put them in the bed of my truck with part of them sticking out over the tail gate. the bed of my truck is 66" and the ramps are 76". If I had a 18' trailer and not the 16' I could care them on the trailer without difficulty.
