We had to come up 8" with the ramp be able to open the door.

We did this with the Z lower an 1" in the front and 1.25" in the back (we have 4 inchs of ground clearance).

We are just trying to figure out which tie down system we will use.

Enjoy.

Nice job!

Gray Goose,

Is there a case to be made for some sort of 2x4 on it's side, on an angle from the trailer side wall to the end of the (black) steel wheel tub, to keep from possibly tearing in to the front valance or tire?

Beautiful job on the ramps and the side door allowing driver's side entry. It is a huge bonus. Well done!

I will probably finish off the fenders with little angled ramps of there own just in case.
