Curb jumping options

Personally I would use the ramp option .Chinese tires and lippert frame components why risk putting extra strain on anything.

This is a bad idea as there is a danger of some cords getting broken inside the tire as all the trailer weight is concentrated in a small area of the tire as the tire climbs over the curb. Down the road on your next trip these broken cords begat a few more broken cords and KABOOM goes the tire, which generally wrecks havoc with the fender well and dents on the side of the camper from flying rubber.

There is a danger getting out of bed every morning also.

There is always someone with a smart assed comment. So do you what you want.

I'm speaking from experience. It took me a few times of backing over a curb before I figured out it was damaging my fivers tires. Now that I have gone to the xps ribbed tires they can take a curb, but most other's get damage.

I use to throw a timber I had cut at an angle in the gutter, but the last few years I have just backed over the curb. I haven't notice any damage on the tires on my current FW or on my last TT.

I've seen these used for 'soft' driveway curbs (sorry I don't know what the real name is, but the pic on the link shows it well). Maybe it would work for your application?

Wow! Talk about expensive toys that can be easily replaced by something that is at least 1/10th the cost.

I've build ramps from stacked plywood or 2x4's, 2x6's, 2x8's, 2x10's and 2x12's. Pre-drill the holes and screw them together.



Another option are these.




Price-wise, you might come out better buying the ramps. Wood has gotten expensive lately.

How tall is the curb and do you need a ramp on both sides?
