anyone use ramps made of solid wood? I know Redlands RV uses them, and seem to work well. Is it ok to use a ramp that supports just one of the tires on the rear dual's or could you over stress the one tire?
Yeah, and mine are probably overkill, they are three layers of 2X12, the bottom is 4', the 2nd is 3' and the top is 2' long. You could probably get by with shorter ramps and reduce some of the weight and storage issues. I have a DP and it seems like I'm under there a lot to replace things like chassis lube, air dryer filter replacement, engine cooler filter, oil filter, transmission filter etc. The extra 4 1/2 inches allows me to roll around underneath on a creeper.
I also have a bottle jack and jackstands if I need to get a tire up in the air.
