Default 4' trailer ramps long enough?

I found a place (Aztex) that has a decent price on 8.5x16' car carriers (83" between the fenders). The price is $1195 for 2 wheel electric brakes, or $1345 if you want 4 wheel electric brakes. The only problems are the ramps are only 4' long and it has an open center.

I have the option to special order one with 6' ramps and the plated center for $200 more and a few week wait. Does anyone here use 4' ramps? My car is stock ride height.

They weren't long enough for my car, but my car has the ugly *** "Appearance Package" <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> Anyways, I bought an eight foot 2x12, cut it in half and had 2 four feet long ramp extensions. Worked perfectly for me, IMO, its not that bad. Shawn

That sounds like a good price.

Terry,
I have four foot ramps on my trailer and they work fine. depending on the terrain, you might have to crank the trailer up a little higher in the front, but otherwise, no problems.
Sounds like a good price on the trailer.

Good Luck
Chuck

Fontana, CA 92335

I don't know of they are nation wide or not, but it can't hurt to call and ask. My friend Nick Steel has one of their trailers and said it was the best deal he could find. If there was a better deal I'm sure this guy would have found it too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
