that should work out fine. If ya can get the measurement requirements also. I forget just how to measure. I think you measure the trucks wheel base 1st, then how far up the ramp it goes...then those 2 measurements give you a score.(I think)

Sweet lookin' ramp rhonda.

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)?

Cool Mike!

That looks to be about the same angle as the one we'll have....I'll bring a couple of photos of a rock crawler that tested it out the one at Galloways(my scanner isn't up right now to post it)

Looks like fun....I'll live vicariously (sp?) through others until I have something like that...
