ATV loading ramps
I need to get some atv loading ramps for my truck.
I need long ones because of the 5 inch lift, None that i can get in store will work because they are for stock trucks.
Any good sites out there that have good ramps for a cheap price. I just found a site with ones that were 800 bucks, forget that.

well did what you guys said.
Got the ramp kit for $15.00
Got two ten foot 2x8 and two eight foot 2x6
mounted the brakets and put the 2x6 in the center of the ramp on its edge and put 3.5 inch screws into it.
The braket says that it will hold 700 lbs each with a single 2x8 only, so 1400 lbs total. so the 2x6 was a little over kill considering the 4 wheeler only weighs 607 lbs.
I also put a grab bar/ handle in the middle on the 2x6, its perfect for picking them up and is also going to work perfect for straping the ramps down so they dont slide out.
i was thinking that 10 foot was going to be short. but they will work perfectly, they are at a perfect angle, any longer and i would worry about them bowing in the middle, but all should be good
Total price on project- $45
