The minimum deck height for the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set part # GH54FR is 15". If they were used at a lower deck height the start of the ramp would not sit flush to the ground and it would have an upward pitch. This may or may not be an issue depending on the ground clearance of the item.

I have attached a list of our other ramp options below.

I spoke to my contact at Bulldog and they cannot recommend substituting the grade 8 bolts that came with the coupler for a set of hitch pins. This would void the warranty of the coupler and more than likely a few SAE requirements. If you choose to do…

The spring hanger placement is going to be determined by your axle spacing. For example, if your axles are spaced 33 inches apart, as shown in the attached diagram, a 7K axle slipper spring, like #e74SR, requires a distance of 28-1/2 inches between…
