New Tilt Trailer

FYI...ramps are for squares

Nope. Fenders came in at 8.75" inches high. With the stock wheels it was no issue. With my race rubber I might come close...but we'll see.

I bet with a little more practice you'll get it down to where you don't have to frustrate the clutch so much. Winching is a PITA if you don't have to, IMO anyways.

Whatcha gonna use for tie-downs?

If you don't have a tilt trailer saw this on one of the cars shows the other day, pretty neat:

Ha, probably. I was a bit startled by the incline.

Just picked up an 8k capacity electric winch - with a remote! I'd prefer to have it and not need it.

And who knows what other goodies you might end up using the trailer for - winch is always nice to have. God forbid you break an axle, hurt the trans, etc, you're covered without having to try to get a bunch of knuckle-draggers to try to shove it up on there. Have been said knuckle-dragger on a few occasions, it's no fun pushing a dead car up on a trailer!

Ha, no doubt.

Got it all sorted this morning. My setup is Z28 suspension, JPSS goodies, 275/35R18 Toyo RR, no additional lowering shenanigans. And I still have about 1/2" on the doors. I did, however. Have to add a 2x12 under the end of the trailer so I wouldn't scrape the front bumper any. So I guess I have ramps in a way. stock wheel/tire package didn't need any help.
