That should have been 2"x10"x8'.

Low - tech rules! I went to the dimensional lumber solution because I didn't want to unhitch, jack up the front, unload, and then reattach to park my rig. Most places I park long term don't have rear access for my ramp, so I have to unload the Ultra before parking. The 2x10 pads also go under my stabilizers afterwards as my plastic leveling blocks sink into the sand slowly without the solid base. Glad you found a solution! Good pipes transformed my bike!

Indeed the simplest solution is usually the best. Glad your pipes are working well.

I had the same issue with my 40x12 XLR. I add a 36" piece of 3/4 plywood with a piano hinge. Also had to add a 6" block under the door edge to support it in the middle. Also taking camper of truck first and the jacking front of 5th a high as you are comfortable with helps with the ramp angle also.
