folding aluminum ramps
Not sure if this is right forum to ask,
but I have a '99 TXT standard length 4 seat with 6" lift and 23x10.5 tires on 12" rims. Will 6' long aluminum folding ramps be long enough to load it in the back of my Dodge 2500 4WD, stock height, and not get hung up on the transition from ramp to tailgate? Thanks. |

Re: folding aluminum ramps
thats a little short but make sure the top part of the ramp has a little arch to it .

Re: folding aluminum ramps
To be safe find a spot where the truck sits lower than the ramps on the ground. Sometimes a street curb is all that is needed to make short ramps work. Loading from a hill is ideal with short ramps

Re: folding aluminum ramps
Thanks for the info guys, I'm planning to buy them(used) and if they don't work I'll put them back on Craigslist and keep looking for the longer ones I was looking for anyway.

Re: folding aluminum ramps
I have 7' ramps and it's still nerves me up loading it in my Ram 1500 - The longer the better. and make sure they have a strap to hold them to the truck so they don't slip out from under you.

Re: folding aluminum ramps
To test before you buy, Take a piece of scrap lumber longer than the axles of the cart, mark the distance between the axles on the scrap, temporarily screw short pieces equal to the clearance height of the cart to the scrap at the axle marks. Now you have a template to test various lengths of ramps before buying or risking the cart.
I used this method to realize the 4' tailgate on my trailer wouldn't work and had the modify to 5 foot. . Last edited by tag50; 09-11-2015 at 02:45 PM.. Reason: spelling |
