thank's for the idea jangles. I mesured the angle of the ramp with a 4' level and it's about a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" drop per foot I'm not sure if the empty trailer would roll down that. We get sand bars that wash onto the ramp in storms sometimes too, it would have to roll through that. I guess I could try it and see what the trailer does after I launch it. In any case I have enough scrap steel around to build the extension if needed.
The forward poppet will fold back. I'll make sure and fold that back. I can drop the forward pads too, the're the set screw type so I probably won't do it unless i have to. that might be a summer project to modify them though.
Did your trailer have a bow stop on it?
