Default Loading Ramps

Ok I have to buy some ramps,. have put this off for a while and not sure what to buy so hoping for some help. I have the 660 Grizzly, have a Chevy Silverado Z71 4X4 Truck with a 6' bed and I weigh 300 lbs so want something safe.

Although I dont flip over the price this is what I am thinking about, has the length, can still slide under wheeler and has the weight capacity.

Ramps

Any other sugestions?

Also should add, live in NW pa so will be loading in the snow often.

I think it would suck to have to put the ramps together everytime you load up or unload.

I use a set of Polaris folding ramps that fold three ways, can fit between the tires of your quad once they're folded, they even have straps so when you spin then won't fly out on you like I've had ramps in the past do.

83"should be all right. My biggest problem with ramps is that my truck is tall. Unless your Chevy has a big lift on it, I think those will work out OK for you.

I got a trifold loading ramp at Sams club for about $100 it will almost slide under my warrior so should easily slide under a 4X4. I have a 2500hd 4x4 chevy and its a little steep but it came with straps to secure it in place and once you do it a few times is no big deal. Load capacity is like 1200lbs i think and its as wide as the tailgate when folded out.

It seems a little expensive, but it seems like a good thing if you have a short bed and want a 7' ramp. If your Silverado is as high as my F250 you definately don't want to go less than 7' on your ramp.

get as long as you can, man. the trifolds generally fit undert he quad, and be sure to strap it on - mine's been on top of me - no fun!- now I always strap it on. even a tie down to the hitch will work.
I have a tall k2500 and if I had the bucks to do it again, I'd get the longest one I could find! even look at Cabelas - they have some stuff too, mostly utility.
