I do have the same race ramps - 4 of them. I sold my flat bed trailer and ordered a tilt bed with 4" drop axles. The tilt + 4" drop removes the necessity of regular ramps, but I'll have to test to see if I still need the race ramps to extend. I think I'll hit about 8 degrees with the longer bed + loading extensions of new trailer, but race ramp provides a bit less than 6 degrees, and it's barely enough, especially for my Miata. I still think just 2 2x2 boards would be a better solution than 4 7' race ramps. Looking forward to testing it out!
