Before I build something that will or will not work, I thought I would ask first How did everybody get their very, very, low racecar in a enclosed trailer? I want to further add that tranny will also hit on front of the ramp[door] also

We are having that problem and we bought an electric trailer jack to decrease the angle on the trailer door. John

My trailer sits pretty high(home made) but one of the things I did was put 4 5" long alum posts at the top of the door then the rubber bumpers mount on the posts then the extensions have a wll on each side(home made also)... heres a pic

I jack the trailer up as high as it will go......I've still caught the headers couple times ....The Arrow is about as low as you can go...
We have to raise our trailer up as high as it will go to get our car on-with the front end removed. The Procharger touches the trailer floor.

Thats why I have to take the front clip off my truck. The chin hits first, also I have two risers ( 2X8's) that start at the end of the dovetail on the main floor, so the pan dosent catch at the break from angle/flat

here’s what I use
they are a bit long, but they work without a hassle. I got tried of playing the “jack the trailer up” game with my trailer.

Buddy of mine has the same setup for his dragster, works great....
I bought a 60" set of RACE RAMPS for mine that are incredable, they are a composite material and weigh less than 10# a piece. Similar to the pic.....
