Best to get some custom ones made up by a metal fabricator

We have some fine welder/fabricators at work....I would have got them to make some from the hefty angle and box we have in the workshop, but they are uber busy, and I was tight for time!!

Defo will be on my drawing board soon though

Book says Kerb weight with full tank 2570kg - 3050kg is max gross loaded to the hilt!

Why? 2.5ton a pair is only 2 wheels. 4 ramps will be good for 5 tons. You couldn't get away with doing a Stoppie on two ramps as the weight might make them fail (the weight is only SWL, chances are they can take way more before they do fail), but 2.5ton a pair is fine for a RR. You're still good for 1.25ton a corner, I doubt the RR is so badly unbalanced that you'll have more than that on one corner.
