Looking to buy a good set of folding ramps so I can rife my 350x right into the back of my Dodge ram...what's everyone using? I figure a good set I could collapse and put right under my machine in the bed

Swore off ramps long ago. Too much can go wrong. I prefer lifting or backing up to a ditch.

Just a cheap aluminum one from a harbor freight type of place is all i use.
Never had a problem with it, ive used it for everything from little atc70s to 350Xs and a yamaha kodiak 400.
I load it in my 2500 chevy no problem. But if it doesn't have chains to strap to the truck to catch it incase it falls then you might want to add those. They've caught me more then once lol.

I use 6' cheap trifolds. ratchet strap it down to the hitch and you will never have a problem with ramps.

The yutrax is the one I have. I've had it for 2 year and it's still in great shape for as much use as its gotten. It comes with the retaining straps

I have the trifold ramps from Harbor freight. They are an excellent buy. The only thing I don't like about them is they are kind of short. I drive a Dodge three-quarter ton pick up, and the tailgate is just a little bit too high. I have never had an issue loading anything into the back of it however. You just have to have good throttle management when you get to the top.

Black Widows by Discount Ramp. Bought them in 2007 and still smile like a fat kid in a candy store every time I use them. The only downside to them is increased traffic in front of my house due to parasitic friends that want to borrow them repeatedly (are you reading this David? PARASITIC! Buy your own freaking ramps!)
Hey Glamy, notice anything different? I painted the tie down rack a darker shade of brown to match the house trim and bought some new orange tie downs!!!:Bounce

Tractor supply sells them too. That's where mine came from.

I really like the longer ramps with the arc for street bikes. Many times when I'm out with a group and we're loading or unloading our trucks I'm asked if I can lend out mine to the guys with the 82" ramps. So much easier.

I have an old oxlite aluminum bifold that my family bought in the early ninetys to load and unload the lawn tractor and ol atc110. I've had a few scares with it but have never had an accident. Every bike is a little different, cannot get complacent.
