shibs Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have some rhino ramps that I use for the single rear wheel cars/trucks. I guess I can use the rhino ramps for the front wheels on the toyo but what about lifting up the rear dual wheel? I am thinking of making an wooden ramp out of 10x2s say 20 inch wide 6 inch tall about 24 inches long. This will be dual use, once I am done servicing the rear diffy, I want to use these to tilt the camper to drain any standing water pooling around the rear seam edge. Can anyone tell me that width of the dual rear wheels pls. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 This is what I made years ago for leveling up. I cut four pieces of plywood 8" wide, staggered the length so it made a step up and glued and screwed. The 2x6 block under the thick end gives me another 1 3/4" height when I need it. This is what I pack around for leveling. Only one of the rear wheels is supported when leveling. Never have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I don't see any problems just putting your ramps under 1 rear tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibs Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 no foolies here, 1 ton axle. not sure if want my chunky derriere under the toyo on my Rhinos on the back ;-). The ground at the storage space is not concrete but loose recycled asphalt, so something wide and stable. I took a peek and I can't reach the diffy due to the rear tire frame and the storage tanks. So I have to raise it min 6 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibs Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 You just put two pairs of the blocks under the wheels side by side as shown in this photo how high is each block? I like that but I am thinking a little bit longer top surface to add stops for the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go together like Legos, You can make the sections as long as you want with more blocks and even create stops at the end if you want to do that. Some versions do have a stop block option. There are a number of companies making these systems. But lumber is a lot less expensive although heavier. Of course it is firewood in an emergency!
