Almost forgot about publishing the scores:

20, 23, or 30 degree ramp?

I'm gonna assume 23 degree ramp judging by the numbers...
 
20 so the math is easy. Assuming you care to have a number comparable to the original 20 degree ramp calcs.
 
I wish I would have known it was a competition at the time.:doah: I didn't air down and my rear springs were still clamped together. I probably could have gone another 4-5" further. Oh well, next year I'll know.
 
I should have ran the rear wheel next to the ramp. Would have gone farther. But I have never been on one before. So I did not know that trick.
 
I totally forgot to air down before I went up the ramp... That is usually good for a couple of inches too. My suspension was flexed right out though, not gonna get any more than that until I swap the rear springs out for something a little less on the flat side.

Oh well, can't complain much at a "perfect" 1000 though! My K5 only scored in the mid 900s
 
I was pretty bummed about my score, I had just put those springs in there, I would score better now, but they were the nicest springs I had and hadn't really been worked to hard, they have been now.

Next year I plan to do better
 
It wasn't meant to be a competition as much as just fun. The winner just got a sticker. It seemed like most of the people that did it had more fun checking out the underside of their trucks to make sure everything looked good.
 
Yeah I would like to but it is a bit of a pain to get it there and back. Not sure if we can find one local to borrow if anyone has any contacts let me know.
 
Mine is 10' long on the base but the part you drive on is about 132". It must be about 4.5' tall but I don't remember for sure. We built it long enough for a 'burb to get a perfect score. In hindsight we should have done a 30 or 40 degree ramp but we weren't planning to transport it when we built it.
 
Im not exactly sure when i will be moving down thre, but we are planning on being there before the next school year. It would probably fit on my trailer if guys want it over there again. What is the width of the part you drive up. If that will slide under my front axle tube then it shouldn't be to much of a problem. I only have around a 6' long by 8' wide space in front of my truck on the trailer.
