    Yep, what @cnsper said, those big rollers & the fact that the upper ramps will flex down & contact the rails should be fine. My set of murray ramps were the same. Big issue will be the steep lower ramps.

    Yeah, this time of year I have to get up a jiggle it occasionally, but that is no worse than folding up a sign covered in frozen slush!

    Me thinks I like my hydraulic neck and wet kit more all the time!

    I believe it is around 260-265. Have never taken the time to actually measure it because the permit offices only want axle spacings and I never think of it when the tape is out.

    Here is a closer photo of my ramps slid about as far forward as I can and still hook up the RGN I run it further back when using the RGN but I have the flatbed hooked up at the moment. You can see where the lower ramp ends and the ramps attached to the 5th wheel. Gives you an idea why the upper ramp slides with the 5th wheel.
