Ramps for GMC Sierra 3500HD with Bed Height of 39-1/2 Inches
Question:
The data sheet for my 2017 gmc sierra 4x4 double cab 8foot bed 3500hd states it is 39.47 inch from the ground. I am looking for loading ramps but the longest you sell states max height of 35 inch I believe. Would these ramps work despite the bed being 4.5 inches higher? Any solutions for me?

Expert Reply:
There is a potential solution for you but the Arched Loading Ramp Set # 288-07432-2 you referenced would not work with your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a 39-1/2 inch bed height.
Instead, you may be able to use the Erickson Arched, Aluminum Loading Ramp Set # EM07486. These do not have a specific loading height so I spoke with a representative of Erickson who told me that they will work so long as the angle of incline is about 30 degrees or less.
Based on the math of a colleague (thanks Jon!), these 90" ramps should give you an angle of about 26 degrees, though you are going to want to verify this yourself.
I have added a link to a video review of the Erickson ramps for you to check out as well.
