Location: Sullivan NY | Has anyone ever put a ramp on a step up before, I have a 2 horse featherlite and the step up seems so high compared to most trailers. Just looking for some suggestions. |

Location: Tipton, IN | Personally, having just replaced the springs on my ramps myself, it's a pain in the butt. Welding the hinges on, and if it's aluminum having to find a shop that welds aluminum, making the ramp, or buying one for $400-600, having locking system to hold it closed and all the other headaches,............yes it's possible. But not fun to undertake if your not gifted at fabricating. |

Location: Highmore, SD | Featherlite has models that have full rear doors with a ramp behind them, so I'm sure you can order one from them to put on your step up. Their website is www.fthr.com . |

How high (how LOW ?) is the coupler when the trailer is hooked up to the truck ? If your truck is sagging, well, y'know, the teeter-totter thang (-:
Yes, as others have said, a ramp over rear doors is quite common. I think it was about $1,000 if ordered at the time of build, I would expect more after the fact.

| I had the dealer put a ramp on my Kiefer trailer afterwards and payed $650 including installation. Was well worth the money and easy to operate. |

Location: Vanzant, Missouri | My Exiss has a ramp that can be put on. I have never used it and probably won't. The hinges are under the trailer and it's the type that you used it and take it off (no securing it.) More of a pain in the a$$... |
