sounds like you got a winner. But the only comp that involves an RTI ramp is Top Truck....

sorry I'm wasting space...

find a right angle triangle calculator and plug in the numbers. commonly the are 20* but are getting steeper. id go 25* and about 5 1/2' tall. prolly 2' wide.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I've been looking for a good project to try my welding ability before I start on important things like on my truck. If I find some good plans I'll post em up

thanks guys, ive been doing some searching and found that its a good idea to do a 25 degree and about 5 or so feel tall will suffice
because i think the 20 deg. is for wussies...lol just kidding
thanks again

Here is a shot of me on a 20 degree ramp. Still very usefull!

Not that theres anything wrong with a 20* ramp but it takes more material to build the same height and offers less progression that a 25*

i wouldn't do a 20* ramp, i maxed out a 20* ramp that was 6" tall. they had a stop at the end at the 6' so it was only usable for like 5.5" and i maxed it out with all my tires still on the gound. a 25* ramp seems like the perfect ramp anymore. 30* just seems too steep.

My club has a 30 degree ramp. No one in our club can max it out. its about 6 to 6.5 feet tall. Its a nice ramp just needs a few things chaged on it to make it easier to use. Could use some expanded metal on the ramp to make it more accurate. Here is a link to some pics of it. http://tired-iron.mounet.com/grace4x4/MG05/default.htm
