Hey Guys,
I guess my back isn't going to last too long lifting the Raptor into the back of my F250. Does anyone have any good recommendations on some loading ramps. Where to buy them, what brands are good or bad?
Thanks

I got a set of DAWS ramps. They are all aluminum, hinged and nicely tig welded. They are much heavier than the ramps I have seen available from other sources. Each ramp is capable of supporting 1000lbs. Dont know how much they cost as a i traded a snowmobile trail pass for them.

There have been a few "shootouts" of ramps in the past 6 months of atv mags. If you can afford it, I would get a set of ramps that fold up to take as little space as possible. If space is not an issue, go to lowes and buy the tri-fold ramp they sell. It's about $95-100. My friend has an f250 with this exact ramp and it works well. Just remember...if you plan on sliding the ramp underneath your quad..check clearance before you buy or you might be upset in the end.

I have the Ox-lite alumunum bi-fold ramps. They fit great under the quad, are super light, and have a 1000# load capacity. You can get them in the shortbed or standard length versions. My truck is lifted a few inches but I am still able to set the ramp up and ride the bike on in (thanks to the nifty safety chains on the ramp that hook to the bumper). Ox-lite website

I got a set at Lowes for $89 (Fultons). Lightweight aluminum, fold in half and break apart for wide loading. When folded they slide right under my quad's belly and swing arm.
