Question: Fireball, when you mae yours, did you put the holes in an arc, so that you can change the arm angle without changing the length/having to resquare the rear? I was plannign on doing this, but wasn't sure how hard it would be. Several holes, close together, and in the same arc the rear moves in.

When you redo them, hit me up< I might be intrested in a set of you can cut 2. I wanted to put 4 or 5 holes in them, and have them as close together as possible, so there's more options for adjustment.
My trailer has an extra 6 inches of height, so the door's already 6 inches longer due to that, plus I have a 2.5 foot long ramp extension inside the trailer that folds out so the door is a total of about 9 feet long. Couple that with the beaver tail that is in the trailer, the slope is pretty forgiving for loading the car.
I also have some 2x8's that I may or may not need once I lower the car to where I want it.
My old Birmar I used to use 2 3 foot long sections of 2x10 along with a small support in the center to help get the nose up some before the trailer. One other trick, is to put a set of the cheap walmart plastic ramps in your truck bed, and when you get to the track, put them behind the rear tires, and back up on them. that will help pitch the trailer downwards, making the slope more forgiving as well.
