I will take some pics next time I attempt the circus trick of driving a M6 up a relatively short tip trailer. I have already installed a 2x4 as a stop block to I don't have to rely on my wife to yell STOP! LOL!



BTW - I have realized that my tip trailer is a really bad idea if the car is immobile. Shopping for a winch just in case. Already have a good tow hook.

$20 in 2x10 wood planks will get you fixed right up. You are right they are a trip to drive up those steep short tilts. I will try to draw you a photo of what to build and post up later.

Great tie down choice as well. Cant get much more secure than that.

I have yet to see a trailer of this design in a tandem axle hold alignment good enough to not shred tires. I have been engineering an almost identical unit for about a year with a local fab shop. Flat out nightmare. My single axle setup rocks but the tandem axles fight each other so hard.

Certainly interesting none the less.

Here's a link to Summit couldn't find them on advance site..

I tried these last weekend and they gave enough height to get on/off the trailer with adding more planks to my ramps. Worked fine, but I'm tired of lugging around heavy planks. I'm just going to bite the bullet and get race ramps. Tried some out at the track and they worked great. Also a lot taller so that I don't have to tip the trailer as much.

RR FTW!

Bless my wonderful wife! Turning 50 soon and the ramps will be an early birthday present. Old enough to know better, but still not grown up!
