Your son did a fine job. Just like the Boss a 1" piece of lumber under those front tires will lift it high enough to clear. I'm very curious about those custom ramps you made. Can you PM me a picture and how you built them?

As a side note - classic how the truck and car match in color. Nicely done. Also completely classic that you took it home in a snow storm. My buddy brought his GT500 home last year, trailered, in a snow storm (I helped) and I gave him crap about it for months :crackup:
So those ramps are 15+ years old. I made them for loading my riding lawn mower into my pickup. They are just 2'x8' planks with a "ramp kit" attached. The ramp kit comes with aluminum tip/heel attachments, and the rubber grips. I used them here to just lessen the angle of approach.

Funny story about the Raptor.... I went to the dealer one Friday night to do the paperwork on the GT500, as it was "supposed" to deliver to the dealership that day. Well, it didn't so I bought the 2020 Ford Performance Blue Raptor that night. It was a "Baller" moment haha. I ended up trading it in 5 months later for a Limited F150 because it wouldn't tow my newly acquired enclosed trailer very well.

You also need to pay attention to the width of the trailer. The open tilt i just bought, and just sold only allowed for maybe 2" if that on either side. Im sticking to the enclosed

I finally invested in a trailer. It was worth its $12k investment. Load locks down the entire length of the trailer. These tire straps are amazing. So is the trailer.

After adding a wench, I think it was right at $12,500. If you want more specific details of where I got it and all the specs, send me a PM.
No doubt thats an awesome trailer but how much are enclosed car haulers?

$500 for a wench seems like a deal. Especially if she’s a beer wench.

The wench was a little more than that. The trailer was under 12 K by itself, the way it was specked. I guess I should not have used a rounded my number in the first post.

My wife won't let me have a wench but boy if I could! And it were legal! I'd imagine a winch would work on a trailer a little better but who knows? :crackup:

This did make me chuckle a bit so thanks for that!

Oh, to close it out I bought the brackets from American Muscle. Anxious to get them installed.
