Default 4in lift 35in tires and ramps?

My Chevy has a 4in lift and 35s meaning its about 6 inches taller then stock. I would like to carry my quad in the bed, but I am thinking the ramps I can find (77 inches) will be to steep.....

anyone have any exp. with a similar set up? I am looking at maybe gettting a custom set made at 8 feet long to help but if I can get by with an off the self set that would be better ($$$)

thanks!
Dathan

My brother has a dodge that's lifted about that much. He did it with 22" Tractor Trailor wheels and tires and he uses the alum arched ramps to load his BF with NP at all.

My ford is lifted 6" and 35 " tires and I use 77" ramps from Quad Boss. They work pretty wel. There is 2 straps that you use to strap the ramp to the bumper so it will not slide out while going up. You will be fine.

I have a Dodge Ram 2500 with 33's (so not a total comparison), but I have 86" arched folding aluminum ramps. They are fine as long as I don't park up hill. I bought them at either Lowe's or Home Depot. They have the straps like previously mentioned to tie them to the bumper to keep them from sliding out.

My 02 F250 is lifted 6 in. too....After a few trips up the ramps I wasn't really liking how steep it was.....Unless I backed into a ditch it was a little too steep for me....I finally bit the bullet and bought a trailer....Problem solved.........

I go through the same problem loading on my flat tri-fold ramp loading
my 450 Sportsman on the bed of my Toyota Tundra '04. Not sure about
the exact measurement from the ground to the tail gate but its steep.

I am thinking about ording Arched fold-type 110" (longer for less steep).
I have been checking around, has anyone ordered from atvramps.com?
They seem repuditable, but don't know?

Thanks!
