Dr. Conemangler needs this outfit's trailer ramps for his rig.

Bob, the raceramps.com product is a two piece dealio. That setup you pictured should work.

I would call them to make sure though. Have not actually done that with mine.

I was recommending them for Steve Ekstrand's toy hauler setup. Only trailer I have is for tires. :computer:

They aren't high enough for my needs. But my setup works great and packs better. I just need to pay attention to where I park. :oops: :roll: :cry:

I can barely get my Elise... err... Exige... err... whatever on with the longest RaceRamps... But they are a good product, until friends drive their fullsize Dodge trucks on them :)

I also like how my set up is adjustable.

Dude, did I dent/deform them? :? LMK the damage. At the time I was amazed how light and strong they were. :)

And by slammin' Steve's trailer, we made it easier to load. Of course, the best was at HPT, where we almost didn't need the extra ramps (parked in a shallow dip in the parking lot).

Yeah the worst was parking on a breakover at Fontana for the first time and not paying attention. Ouch. After David and Will, and the Avard's Topeka friend Will, slammed my trailer (switched out of Glamis mode), its a lot easier. I just can't be stupid about it as Seb and Bob can attest to. Ouch again.

That was a rough go of it, which is why I thought some custom ramps might help.
