I see your getting the 11x20's on, hope it all works out well!

well I too thought about it a long time ago but I need the ramps to help get under trailers bc of the huge height the truck has. and if you move the plate back to have to mod the ramps and I dont want to do that bc you start down a road of changing things and I want it to look original.

How about blocking under the landing gear when you set it down? The first time with a trailer would be difficult. I was actually thinking on a trailer recovery that you could set the front of the trailer on the front bumper(assuming its a fairly light, unloaded trailer), retract the landing gear, then block it and raise it up higher. You are forever having to block it when you unload a trailer though.

dont use blocking. use 8 ft long lumber. I use two 4x4x8's

what ever you use make sure it is wider than it is tall. I You are using a air ride trailer make sure the bags have dumped before you put the gear down. the trailer moves forward as the bags dump.

All good tips, thanks.

DaveP, you're gonna have some major axle wrap-up with that tire setup!

All the more reason to add a power divider.
