AndrewMawson Jedi Trainee Registered: 06/20/04 Posts: 229	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? AWEM _________________________ Andrew Mawson Bromley, Kent, UK

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. Attachments _________________________
