Replacing Rubber Bumpers to reduce angle?

[tomm1947]

I have a 2019 Cherokee Gray Wolf 22RR and a 2012 Spyder RT( Reverse Trike -Two tires in the front & one in the back) when the TH is on a flat piece of ground the ramp angle is too steep and the trike bottoms out while loading! I'm looking for some LARGE RUBBER BUMPERS to replace the stock bumpers which should reduce the ramp angle and I will get an extension for the ramp to help the loading. The other option is finding an area that has a hill and drop the ramp on it and take a chance! Anybody have an idea about the larger bumpers? TIA

You could get a rubber speed bump or wheel stop and put that in place of the bumpers. You can get those 6" or more tall.

why not just some loose wood blocks for the times you need them? The ramp extensions I've seen are diamond plate and mounted via hinges to the inside at the ramp end. The ramp can be used with them left folded or not. That's what I'd do if it were mine.

What really works well is jacking up the front of the TH . it will reduce the angle and allow you to load unharmed . even when hooked to the truck you can use the jack to reduce the angle and or just a couple pieces of 2x4 under the rubber bumpers

Had a 2011 Spyder RT, and when connected to TV, would raise the tongue jack to raise my 26RR for loading...also loaded backwards,never bottomed out,worked great!![ATTACH][/ATTACH]
