Expert Answers about Toyota Car Ramps


  • Ramps for Race Car Trailer for Car with 3.5 inch Ground Clearance
  • Yes I would say a 12-14 foot long ramp would work great for a vehicle with 3.5 inches of ground clearance and trailer height of 19.5 inches like the part # GH34FR which is 14 feet long. Since your trailer does not have a lip for a ramp set your best option would be to install a trailer ramp channel at the rear of it which at this time we do not carry. It would not be an issue for the full weight of your vehicle to be on these ramps. The # GH34FR would work great for you.

  • Can Portions Of The Race Ramps Be Removed After Car Is Elevated?
  • The Race Ramps Portable Pit Stop Ramps can have portions removed after the car is elevated. Not only can you remove the ramps so you can close the garage door, but you can also remove the section or sections between the wheels for access to the undercarriage from the side of your vehicle. I've attached a couple photos to assist.

  • Can FloTool RhinoRamps be Used With Jacks?
  • The FloTool RhinoRamps # FT11909MI can be used to raise your vehicle and work under it but should not be used along with jacks. If you use the ramps to lift the front, for example, you would need to keep the rear wheels on the ground and use wheel chocks such as # FT11930MI to secure those wheels. I've added links to video reviews of both products for you to take a look at.

  • Can Draw-Tite Hitch Be Installed on a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Without a Lift or Ramps
  • If you and a set of extra helping hands can fit under your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek then you should be able to wiggle the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36644 around enough to get it installed. I know for myself that I'm big enough I would need to have a vehicle lifted up unless it was on a bigger vehicle like a truck. Since you don't already have service ramps I do recommend picking up the FloTool RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11909MI and keeping them handy in your garage. I'm not...

  • Will the Gen-Y Ramps # GH54FR Hold My Antique Cars when Loading onto a 4-Foot High Haul Truck?
  • Yes! As long as your haul truck weight capacity and the 8,000-pound ramp capacity of the Gen-Y # GH54FR is higher than the weight of your antique cars, you are good to go. In fact, we have a video where we used the # GH54FR with a tractor that was loaded onto a trailer less than 4 feet off the ground. I went ahead and attached the video to this answer.

  • Will a 2018 Volkswagen GTI Make Contact with the Ramps on Tow Dolly RM-2050-1 While Driving
  • The bump or dip in the road would have to be fairly severe for the ramps on tow dolly # RM-2050-1 to make contact with the bottom of your 2018 Volkswagen Golf. The ramps are not all that long and the dolly and vehicle will move up and down with the travel of the tow dolly suspension. If there is any contact it is unlikely that it would be forceful enough to damage anything on the vehicle. I understand though; it's a new vehicle and you want to be sure! I recommend taking a look at the...

  • Recommended Winch And Mounting Locations
  • In your scenario, we will want to look at a utility which. This will allow you to have a winch that has a free-spool option that lets you pull rope out fast. The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW15020 will enable you to efficiently drag the tree logs from the ground, up on dolly, to your van, and then up a 10 ramp. Because we don't know how heavy the logs are going to be, and we are not sure how much your vehicle's floor can handle use your best judgment when attempting to drill holes...

  • What Should I do with a Wheel Chair Ramp that Has No Hole to Secure the Shank in the Hitch
  • Brophy 2 Inch Reducer Sleeve, part # HT02, is the right product to use to step your 2 inch hitch down to a 1-1/4 inch hitch. As far as drilling the shank on wheel chair ramp, you should call the manufacturer of the ramp. Usually drilling or otherwise modifying a shank is something that should not be done, but some parts require it. Do call the manufacturer of the ramp and see what they say before you do anything to the ramp shank.

  • Is Lift Needed to Install etrailer Hitch on 2022 Mazda CX-5
  • If you are able to fit under the rear of your 2022 Mazda CX-5 some then I would say it's possible to do the installation without ramps, but in one of our reviews someone said they used 6" ramps and that definitely helped so I would say if you have access to some ramps go ahead and use them to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 on your vehicle. If you don't have access to ramps but you'd like to pick some up I recommend checking out the FloTool RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp...

  • How Does the Redline Ramp Spring RS16933LH Install
  • The Redline Ramp Spring # RS16933RH is a replacement spring and is only part of the ramp spring system on a trailer. To use this spring on your trailer you must have ramp hinge with a 1-1/2 inch diameter rod or pipe where the ramp meets the trailer. The spring slips over the rod with the tension of the spring against the ramp and trailer when the ramp is in the up position. The spring should not be welded to the ramp or trailer, the tension and the rod will hold the spring in place. The...

  • Can the Race Ramps Racer Chock # RR-RC-5 be Used Under the Front or Rear Wheels
  • The Race Ramps Racer Chock # RR-RC-5 can be used for your front or your rear wheels depending on what works best for your application, but these have a 1,500 lb weight capacity so they wouldn't be the best choice for launching your boat. Instead I recommend using the Race Ramps Wheel Chocks # RR-WC. These are a little bigger and I confirmed with my contact at Race Ramps that when they are used for what you are talking about they can support about 20,000 lbs.

  • Installation Lift Recommendation for Curt Wiring Harness # 56016 on a Low Sitting 2011 Mazda CX-9
  • I have a solution for you below, but you could go to a local garage and see what they say, more than likely they will not allow it because of liability reasons. The might offer to install it for you at a price. We do offer car service ramps like the Race Ramps # RR-XT-2 or the more economical for occasional use the FloTool # FT11912MI. Your 2011 Mazda CX-9 weighs up to 4,546lbs so you will want to keep this in mind while looking at ramps capacities. Both ramps will work for helping...

The spring slips over the rod with the tension of the spring against the ramp and trailer when the ramp is in the up position. The spring should not be welded to the ramp or trailer, the tension and the rod will hold the spring in place. Note that the Redline Ramp Spring # RS16933LH is a replacement spring...

  • Does 2021 Kia Seltos Needed to be Lift on Jacks to Install Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • It is not necessary to have your 2021 Kia Seltos up on a lift or jack to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR. It may be slightly easier given you'll have more room if you were to use something like the FloTool RhinoRamps Max Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11912MI and Wheel Chocks # FT11930MI but it is not necessary for the installation. I have added a link to the installation instructions for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR.

  • Rear Ramp Door Spring Assist Maintenance
  • The Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring # CB250D96SHD are just like garage springs. There is nothing really required to maintain them other than visual inspection and light grease on the moving parts. If they lose tension or require cable maintenance, it is recommended to have a garage door professional do the work on them due to the high tension.

There are two knobs on the underside of the rack that you will loosen that will allow you to adjust either tray, and the directions also specify that all of the trays and even the wheel straps can be adjusted to best accommodate your bikes.

  • Can I Install Air Helper Springs at Home on My 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
  • The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 will work great on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. This kit can and has been installed by many people at home. It helps if you can get your hands on a set of car ramps to get the rear of the vehicle in the air a bit to give you more room to work but other than that the installation is very straight forward. I also recommend picking up a T-Fitting # F3025-1 so that it make inflating and deflating the air bags much easier.

  • Is Lifting the Rear of 2017 Toyota Prius To Install The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Required?
  • Raising your 2017 Toyota Prius off the ground is not going to be necessary to install the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24966. I have linked a video below which does show the installation process and you can see how difficult some of the fasteners are to reach so it will make it easier to access if you are able to raise the rear of your car. Rather than using jack stands you can use Ramps # FT11909MI as then you will only need to back your car onto the ramps rather than...

  • Maximum Run Time of Superwinch Terra 45 ATV Winch
  • The Superwinch Terra 45 ATV Winch SW1145220 has a maximum continuous run time of two minutes. It will require cooling after that, though there is not a specified period of time which is required. Superwinch says "several minutes" and notes that the ambient temperature will be a factor, with less cooling time needed in cooler weather. In regards to operation, the Superwinch Terra 45 only requires a 12 volt DC charge such as a car battery so you will be able to use it but running out of...
