Look to buy a new trailer....

A longer ramp would help too. Trailer hite+ramp length=ramp angle.

I thought about longer ramps a while back. The only issue with increasing the ramp length is that it will require a deeper ramp pocket under the trailer, and the V frame under the trailer would have to be notched to allow the ramp to pass through it between the V frame and the bed. I believe it would take too much out of the V frame. But, longer ramps would be a good solution.

I did flip the ball carrier on the hitch over, and I picked up about 2 1/2 inches of height at the tongue. that plus the little bit of spring compression as the car reaches the top of the ramps just clears the pan. It's a temporary solution for now, but... I think I see one of those roll backs in my future. lol

I'm probably going to look at trailers that can take one of my long bed pick up, too. So that if I ever have a need to transport on of them, I can.
Last time I had to do that I had to bring one back from Albuquerque, N.M. that was about a 1700 mile ride dragging a trailer that only allowed about 2" of bed behind the contact patch of the rear tires, and everything beyond that was hanging off the back of the trailer so much, that the police made me put flags on the rear bumper. That was a pretty hairy two days, and I don't want to deal with that, again.

I have an opportunity to fix both issues, and, unless my wife beats me up about it, I think I'm going to do it.

I think it's OK for a grown man to own two trailers, lol.


btw, have you guys looked at some of those vids in the link that yellowdartdave posted? some are pretty sic. lol

Thanks for the help, guys.
