i used to use ramps untill they shot out one day, i had clips for the tailgate but the little clips snapped, it was a good thing i was already on the bed of the truck. so now i back up to my ditch so i only have to lift the front end a foot or so, unloading i either back up to the ditch or just yank it out from behind, grabbing the grab bar and pulling and letting the front tires hit down.

You mean there is a way to get someone to help you load up your quad? I wish I knew someone who would help like that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

YOu'll be fine with any ramp. Just tie the damn thing to the bumper/trailer hitch using some rachet straps so they don't kick out from under you. I use double ramps with this method and never had a problem.

I know this guy that had a kfx 400 that would take the seats out of his mini van and load it in there. He had to squish the suspesion down to do it. It was hilarious. But now he has a ltr450, doubt he can still do that.

I push the back wheels to the start of the ramps and hold the brake and slowly let it down. When it gets pretty far down I hold the brake real tight and climb down off the gate. Then I finsih getting the quad off the truck.

I feel its the safest way I have used.
