Well I bought a trailer today to haul my 2008 SM5.
77"x10'. Perfect size. 15" wheels and a powder coated frame with pressure treated deck. I hate those trailers with the ramp that sticks up when it's loaded so I was looking for either a tilt or standard trailer. I was looking in Canadian tire (Target? for Americans?) and found a set of ATV ramps for $300.00 that were not tri fold but clipped together for versatility. YAY! 3 ramps! (6') After doing the math for the approach angle for the Spyder I was still in the nose dragging zone. Then I realized that my new Jeep (2011 Grande Cherokee Overland) (Thank you Jefferson plant Mich!) has the Quadra Lift suspension. All I have to do is attach the ramps and set the Jeep for rock and it will lift the whole truck (by a remarkable amount) and trailer(front) thus reducing the approach angle for the bike.
Badda Boom Badda Bing!
What can I say, I get excited when things work out. O.K. you smarter people can stop rolling your eyes now!
I'll get some pics tomorrow as we got an Alberta clipper hammering through here for the next 24 hrs.
Got a foot today and expecting more!
Regards,
Max
