loading a lowered truck onto trailer question
 
Ive been dead set on lowering my truck 5/7, but something just crossed my mind. Loading it on a trailer. I plan on taking it to shows as far as Florida. So the question is, how do you guys go about loading ur lowered rigs onto a ordinary car trailer?

long 2x4 or something else to extend the ramp to make it shallower

Put a 4x4 posts or something big under the trailer jack to try to get it as high as you can. Depending on how big of a dove tail the trailer has, if it has one at all.

So lifting the front or lengthening the ramps would be the only way. Never really thought about lifting the front of the trailer. Ramps crossed my mined but wood ramps wouldn't stand a chance. Maybe backing up to a curb or driveway, giving the ramps a little lift.

or back trailer up to a hill always works well

Thats what id do. Find a hill that works and you will damn near be able to drive straight on with no incline whatsoever

Don't put it on a trailer... Just drive it, enjoy it :)

Im gunna have to search for a hill around town. Lol or make some long ass ramps. But to make ramps thatll be strong enough to not bend, and thatll make them way heavy.

Id love to. But 4.56 gears and drag racing it with the thought of something going wrong 1000 miles away from the house makes me have to tow it.
