R-F standard for articulation ramp

we're gonna make an articulation ramp. I know there is a "score" that can be assigned to your run. I wonder if anyone else has one, and if so what degree do you have? It makes sense to keep the same angle so the scores have a meaning to them.

Looks like 20, 23, and 30 degree are what is out there. It's looking like 30 degrees is the newest style.

Comments?

Thanks bryan. That will help. With the reading I did, it looks like the number can be converted from one angle to another. As in a 300 on a 23 degree would equal a 250 on a 30 degree (not real numbers, but....)

portablity seems easy enough to do. The tall side has an axle. Once the wheels are removed it sits flat on the ground. You can see a square hitch on the front of that pic.

Those ramps scare me driving up them... I always feel like I'm gonna drive off of it.

Plus I always go to the local 4x4 shop and I can only get about 1ft up the ramp because it sits on gravel and I'm 2wd haha... L/S doesn't even help.

he could do that cause the 98+ front end is so stiff and only allows so much articulation.

Since a few guys like DCs here you go! This is at a Jeep dealership. A guy from the club works there so they had a jamboree thing with over 100 jeeps that showed up, then they went wheeling. This is their ramp. The wheels are for show and not connected to a real axle like the above ramp.

Here is a Sheriff's rig. It's real. I just had to post it because it's bad ***! It was at one of the local trail cleanups. I searched and found more pics.
