I got my trailer and it's nice. I was told it would be a dovetail, but it's not...I can live with it though. I think I'll have a problem getting my truck up there though. The ramps are the standard 5ft ramps I think. My problem with the ramps is the side/edge ridge that stick up along them. I believe I have 11.5" between the edges of the ramps, but my tires are 14" wide. I'm thinking this could possibly puncture one of my slicks while loading the truck up. Would I be ok if I just flipped the ramps over and had the little retaining edge/lip(that connects to the trailer) welded the opposite way? My tires may fit on the ramps the way they are, but it'll be a tight fit with no room for error. I'll post pics if you guys need a better understanding of what I'm talking about. Thanks.

I had ramps like that on a previous trailer. I got around it by laying 2- 2x12 cut to the ramp lenths when I needed to load up vehicles with wider tires. Just my $.02

My latest trailer ramps are flat across. I will try to get some pics the next time I have it out.
