I love raceramps.com !
Be sure you have a place to store the TR-5 in the trailer or tow vehicle.
When I sold my Featherlite 3110, I gave away my TR-5 ramps with the trailer for free (a RL member bought the trailer). The ramps were too long to store in a H2 Hummer with the 3rd row seats removed (long cargo area), but fine if stored in a pick-up truck, Excursion, Suburban, etc.
I got a set of custom ramps made by raceramps.com in 2 pieces, they have even higher height and a lower angle. They fit in the trunk of the H2 and the Cayenne (narrow and small trunk).
The Trailex CT-8060/8045/7045 have long ramps (11' long), while the featherlite 3110 has shorter ramps (7' long). However, the Featherlite has a much lower floor, so the angle of the ramps makes it easier to load a low car, despite of having shorter ramps than the Trailex Open trailer.
Removing and reinstalling the splitter takes 1 or 2 minutes at most. No screws necessary. That's the easy way. Minor scrapping on the spoiler lip when loading on the trailer is not a problem, the Cup splitter is pretty flexible.

dual axle trailer gets a flat.....pull good tire on ramp, change other tire
OK...I am making excuses.....I am too lazy to remove dirty splitter

yardstick at car tire to front of cup splitter......32"
ground to cup splitter....3.5"
Need a ramp with a 9.5 to 1 ratio.....now need to figure out ramp length needed
I like Rad's idea of two piece ramps.....

They are long but do the job very well. I should know. We've sold them for a few years now after seeing them at SEMA. It's what I use on my car.
Peter, let me know if you want a set and we'll put them on our spring order. We've sold a bunch over the years. Biggest problem is getting them shipped economically across the border. They are bulky!

Added Bonus....might off-set the "custom order" charge, not that it's a biggy?
