I need to get a trailer. But til I do. Is it unsafe to use my winch to load my ATV? Done it a couple times already. I have all the right parts. I put a forged D-ring (3,666# working load) in the bed w/ grade 8 hardware. 8000# ****** block. I still use some of the grade in my driveway too. The Polaris ramps say tailgate should not be higher than 36". But that's even scary. Is this a dangerous practice? And please don't tell me I shouldn't have gotten such a big lift.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I don't even use my winch to secure the Quad to the trailer................Why do you need the winch if you have the ramps?.........Is you truck REALLY lifted?
Just make sure the ramps are attached to the rear bumper with straps so they don't kick out on you and causing the ATV to filp over............Caper...........

 

Just seen you pics....Yes it's REALLY lifted............I would get a trailer or make a special tri-fold ramp for the hight you need......Don't forget your "DROP" reciever.....LOL...LOL..........Caper.........

Ya, I got one custome welded locally w/ a big a$$ gusset on it. Ball right at 19".

 

I'd say that you'd be OK doing that, it would be probably the best solution for now
thats a sweet A$$ truck too

 

I looked at the pics but kept thinking about zombies. I think you're okay winching it up there.

It's just for short term and when I leave the trailer at home in the future. Thanks for the feedback. It was worth the extra money going with American made products.[img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]
