Note on ramps.  Most of the ramps that I looked at yesterday at the FLAPS
are way to low for use with almost any vehicle.  The rest were not rated for
heavy truck/van/SUV.  They said they could order me the heavy ones like I
have but they didn�t stock them.  Had to stop at another FLAPS and they had
the heavier ramps in the higher heights.  So you may have to shop around to
find them and read the labels closely.
