porthole
Retired
I crushed my first drive on ramp I tried. It worked until I overshot the ramp a bit, not it is only 1 inch tall now, but it is no longer usable
On the way to Hatteras I stoped at a Tractor Supply and bought a 20 ton "stubby" jack. This jack is short enough to just make it under the outer plate next to the tire.
In this picture my tire is off the ground by about 1/2", only took about 1.5" of travel for the jack.
The 20 ton is not overkill. It makes for a very easy jacking.
Although a drive on ramp would be much easier, and I may still try the RV version that is available, this solves the problem of how.
I actually prefer lifting the wheel as opposed to raising the trailer enough to get the affected wheel off the ground.
I suspect with a flat I will have to drive onto something to get enough clearance for the jack to fit under the "flat" IS.
