When trying to flex out the rear end of a vehicle on a loading dock (makeshift RTI ramp), whats the best path to take? would it be best to get one tire (say the rear drivers side tire) up on the ramp and then as you slowly go back, swing your front end out away from the ramp? it seems when I just tried it, i was trying to keep my drivers side FRONT tire as close to the ramp (but not up on it) as possible but in doing so, the rear end would slowly get more and more ONTO the ramp until finally i'd scrape the bottom of my diff on the edge of the ramp. silly question, I know. just curious

 

On an actual RTI ramp you will not make it to the front (or back) tire before your truck starts to flip. You simply do not have enough flex.

I wouldn't be messing around with a loading dock, go to a 4x4 place and use their actual RTI ramp, if you actually care what your RTI score would be.

 

in case you DO have a massive amount of flex, here are some good examples:

I was messing around on one yesterday lol
