what would be slick is a piston from the receiver that would raise and lower the ramps...

ramps stow in stake side pockets.  it would be kind long and tall if 6' ramps folded up.  They might even need to be a lot longer to get anything normal on it.  should have just make full sides at 9'6" but would have been HEAVY.   all components now are tolerable to toss around.

9'6" ramps still wouldn't get anything normal up there as tall as your bed is.

I need at least 10' ramps on mine to take care of breakover to get Gus up there as he sits

wonder 4.0 and 572 pull on fine.  looks good.  added 2 more bolts to take the tension on the deck.  one of the ramp rails took a 1/2" bend on first use.  note, 6' ramp of 2x2 angle .250 wall no good for anything more lol


gona try it out this weekend to pines.

nice work.  looks legit.

I think i would have done it more like a beaver tail and split up that break over angle.
