[QUOTE="Waffle, post: 757703, member: 12726"] Finished the widening part. Total deck width is 88" which matches my tread width, so no guessing about how far to one side as I'm loading. Out back I ended up using 3x2x3/16 tube down the side and 3/8 plate to gusset/relocate the outer ramp brackets. I left the inner brackets alone and fabbed longer ramp rods. To widen the front of the deck I just used 3x2x1/4 angle and only up to a bit forward of where the tire sits. The angle part looks better in person tbh. Decided to partially remove 6 of the center boards up to where the front axle sits, but left enough to have a full deck up front. Removed 75ft of board which cuts off about 235lbs by itself. Pretty sure there's about 80lbs in steel added which brings the total weight down to 2,765lbs. So far.....
