yes,
Race ramps RR-TR-5 67"x5"x14" 30# 3" - 2" 4* incline

the wood isn't absolutely necessary but I use it as a rest for the aluminum ramp ends, it also sligtly smooths the transition

They stow neatly under the car

Hey Mobonic, the standard ramps on the Featherlite 3110 have a 3/4" - 1" lip ( kind of a half barrel shape ) and they are 12" wide. I was wondering if you had any problems or issues due to the 11'-12" width of your rear tires. I hope you understand what I am describing and my concerns. I have the same trailer but have not yet loaded my car...I will order the race ramps RR-TR-5 as you suggested.

Hmmmm. Didn't think to ask. Just under $360 delivered. Shipping was $40. Certainly worth asking.

Bill, I like that storage idea. I'd be a bit paranoid leaving that unattended though. Probably the cynical NYer in me.

sorry the trailer is stored and the ramps too, so cant measure.

The race ramps are some sort of foam core, but hard shell, they weigh nothing (maybe 4lbs each)... i just through them in the bed of the truck.. if you tow with a small suv, then space with these might be an issue.

Every time I go to the track I see my buddies or others offloading nice cars with wood and it looks so jenky. I walk over and hand them my race ramps and they then offload their car and marvel at these.. next time I see them they have a set.

I should get a commission from RR.

I have no issues, plus I have so much camber in my car that the tires never are touching the whole ramp.. just the inside edge.

These work with my FL 3110 like they were made for them.. perfect fit and use.

I did notice last time that i was getting some separation on these from 2 years of use.. nothing some racers tape cant fix though.

That is a very slick way to carry them. I'll have to remember that.

I use the TR5's as well with my 80180 enclosed Trailex. I had to build up the notch with a 1" piece of wood too...they are a deluxe piece of equipment!
