best way to get your lowered 240 on a trailer?

[pinoysurf]

Just wondering what people are doing to get their lowered cars onto
a trailer. Whats the easiest method?

[LongGrain]

back truck onto ramps, put extra ramps under your trailor gate/ramps, take all of your aero off

and long pieces of wood

[s13dan]

take the bumpers off and go slow..The longer the ramps are the easier it will be.
maybe exhaust removal, depends on the car.

[drifter_for_life06]

ive always used a slight hill so its more of a flat transition, and taking it slow obviously is always a good idea

[Prok0]

bumper off, ramps + wood, dont be a retard.

[Ceepo]

i have done hills, wood, and jacked the rear ramps up once the center of the car hit the trailer, if at all possible get a trailer designed for lower cars...

try that link, that product has the right i going, the less of angle you can get the better :) you could make longer ramps with a 2x10 or something like that, you get the idea tho...

[orion::S14]

My car is not that low (by Zilvia standards), and no 'aero'...BUT...the suggestions posted above are good:

(my trailer is a 16x7 with a dovetail, FWIW)

Ramps on trucks rear tires help.

I have a 2x10, stacked 2 high...that make a ramp extension for rear of the trailer...gets the front end *just* high enough that the stock S14 front lip doesn't scrape.

...

...and there is a school by my house that has a HUGE front lawn with a big dip in it...I'll often stop there on my way home from events, and pull the car off...I almost don't even need to use the ramps, the rear of the trailer is 1" off the ground if I pull the truck into that dip. With the ramps, it's a perfectly flat drive-off.

Look for stuff like that near you - Church parking lot, school, park, whatever.

unless your car is super slammed u should have no problem really.

maybe just have longer, not so steep ramps.

bumper off and 2x4

[sonomadrifter]

Last time we loaded my s14 we had to dig trenches for the trailer axles to drop into. That along with it being backed up to a hill and many many boards.

(I have pic's of this but photobucket won't host them)



Or if you dont care, just some 2X8's and a winch will work too.

Then dump it at your destination and go. Fun fun.

Make steps out of wood, it's heavy but it gets it on there.

[McCoy]

Mine's not that low, but still had to use some 2x4's to keep from scrapping the muffler, if lower I'd assume longer 2x4's would help.
