Default Jumps?

So I'm thinking it might be cool to do a few jumps/launches in the Ram. What do you guys think? Any suggestions on what to do / not to do? Anyone done any sweet jumps before? I jumped some tracks a few months ago and got pretty high, but I almost put it in to a tree when I landed. So I think I want to build a ramp to do it more in the open. Just looking for some thoughts!! I will def post pics/vids if I do it.

nah ... just sometimes I get these crazy ideas and I want to just run and do them, lol. I'm glad that you guys talk some sense back in to me. I def don't want to drive a $30K truck off of a ramp. I gotta get myself a beater car
