Best ATV ramps for lifted PSD?
I been using my trailer to pull my 4 wheeler around because I dont have a set of ramps to load it into the bed of my truck. I have heard that ramps can be dangerous because if one or both slide out on you, the atv can tip over or fall off the truck. The ramps I found at tractor supply are only 6' long, I took a set out of the truck and with my truck being lifted, the ramps were like straight up. Wouldnt be a fun ride trying to get the atv up in the back of the truck with those short ramps.
Anyone use ramps with a lifted truck? If so, what kind do you have/recommend? |

I hate ramps and hate having my atv in the bed. I just use a trailer. If you were close to me I would give you my ramps that are homemade and 8ft long

Well the other reason I wanted a set of ramps was so that when I take a buddy riding, we could load one 4 wheeler up in the bed and then put the other on the trailer.
PS: Are all small trailer a pain in the butt to back up with? My little 5x8 is a nightmare. My drive is a straightshot backwards and the trailer still goes all over the place. |

haha, small lightweight single axle trailers suck to back up. My boat is a Ski Nautique and it has a single axle trailer and I have a hard time keeping it straight. Next boat I buy this year will have dual axles no matter what.

We have a little single axle 5x8 lawnmower trailer and as previously stated it's a pain to back so I got a set of 7ft. folding aluminum ramps from a swap meet last week. I got 7ft. because my 97 OBS F250 is lifted 4" and on 35"s and I wanted to have plenty of length to compensate for the lift. They work great IMO. Just make sure you're lined up and keep it straight when backing off. It's also a good idea to have somebody else on the ground to spot for you.

Does anyone make a set that have something that like locks or ties into the hitch? I am looking for a way to secure the ramps better so they dont move around

I have am 8ft set that I made with 2x8's and brackets. The brackets bungee to the cargo hooks in the bed so the ramps dont move. Works great.
I also agree short trailers suck to back up

Small trailers are a pain to back up especially if you can not see them. The trick is to go extremely slow while backing them up.

well with my truck if im hauling one in the bed and one in the trailer i just put the ramps on the trailer to the bed. makes it a lot easier when your truck is lifted. if thats not possible with your trailer just make some homemade ramps.

Might want to look into one of them mini manual cranes that hooks up to your tailgate for lifting heavy stuff like 4 wheelers
