Default Thoughts on this Ramp...

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows/thinks that one might be able to load a bike (F4i) onto a truck (GMC Sierra Standard Cab) with this ramp without scratching the lowers of the bike (since the ramp isn't arched).

I like it because it folds open and I can load the bike by myself...let me know what you guys think

I think I'll just go with the oxlite arched ramp

it looks too steep so you will hit the bottom parts of the bike. get a longer one if you can.
do some calculations so you know much angle you can spare and how long of a ramp to get.
just bust out the pythagorean theorem.

Yeah that ramps too steep, an easy way is to park your truck up and use a length of string to play with lengths and pitch to see what you need. Then go make/buy one to the size you`ve need.

Lol, I'm not mathematically inclined.

The oxlite is arched and has good width so that'll work.



Not bad at $100 I guess.
