[QUOTE="nailsbeats, post: 6130, member: 784"] Four foot ramps should be fine if you back on and drive off, though I would be a little leary of driving up them without the bucket. Test it slowly. I personally prefer mine longer, more like 5 1/2 feet depending on the style and height of the trailer deck. I once had the back of my Toyota 16 inches off the ground when my ramps slid out from under me while “drive-on” loading, pretty hairy situation. Luckily I was able to back up and they folded back under me without bending anything. Trailer frame took the stress, no problem. I reworked the design and now they work perfect everytime. I feel that backing on is your safest bet and your cab will stay cleaner. You can see a pic of my trailer in the Homemade Forum. [/QUOTE]
