Yep, short bed, tires are 285's so a little taller than stock. I had my front torsion bars tightened up so my front end is up about 2 1/2" from stock. That said I think the rear must have dropped about the same, might explain where the difference is. Get the longer ones, I'd hate to see you flip back....you're brittle :wink:

I like the folding ones. They will fit under the quad with the tail gate shut.

I have the 2 single ramps....Jack has the folding. I'd have to say Jack's is more convenient to store....mine is faster to unload, with no folding. Jack's is probably safer, since you have more surface.

What I've found is....I'd likely never get another one. Miren lost 1 ramp somewhere between Meadow Lake and I80. I replaced 1 ramp.

Steve lost 1 ramp between Sierra College/Douglas and my house (went back immediately, and someone took it :roll: ). He replaced the 1 ramp.

Unless I had a horrible accident and both got messed up or both were lost...the most I have to replace at any given time...is 1 ramp.
