Lift Ramp Suggestion For Loading Corvette into Car Transporting Trailer

Question:

1994 ZR-1 and 1996 GS C4 Corvettes towed in an enclosed 20ft trailer. The max trailer door height when opened is 9.25 inches to the ground. Not sure if I need the 7 inch by 74 inch or 9 inch by 96 inch ramp?

Given the low ride height of a Corvette, going with the longer # RR-TR-9-FLP would be the better choice as you'd be less likely to high-side the vehicle when it enters the trailer. Both ramps have the same 5.5º approach angle but you'd have a 2-1/4 inch height gap between the trailer door and the top of the ramp if the # RR-TR-7-FLP were used. This would be more likely to scrape the underside of the vehicle than the smaller gap with the # RR-TR-9-FLP.
