BJ8 approach / depart angles

My new workshop floor of necessity is somewhat higher than the surrounding ground, so I need to form a concrete ramp. Does anyone know the maximum angle of the ramp before grounding a BJ8 when it goes over the 'crest' onto the flat?

Experiment with some pieces of wood. Good theory Bruce, but the BJ8's in storage, hence the question!! AWEM

I agree with Bruce. I don't think there is an exact measurement anymore. With springs sagging, different tire diameters, exhaust systems, etc. there are a lot of variables. I made some ramps into my garage just to be safe. How about "hydraulics". Lowriders use them! LOL Patrick
