Fourwheeler Mag. article stated:
To fingure out your RTI on a ramp:
Whatever number of inches a vehicle can get before it runs out of suspension travel is divided by its wheel base. Then multiplied by 1000 equals your RTI.
( number of inches traveled up the ramp DIVIDED BY the vehicles wheelbase X 1000. ) 1000 being a perfect RTI.
For example: a 104 inch whellbase truck goes 39 inches up the ramp, its RTI would be 380. ( [ 39 / 104 ] X 1000 )
This is how I've always done it. Anybody else figured it differently???

Good information...
Is the distance the vertical distance (y), the horizontal distance (x), or the angular distance (z)?
