I have a pair of good 2x12s I keep in the back of my one ton Dodge. It has
come in handy for loading motorcycles, ATVs, lawn tractors, and numerous other
non-wheeled loads. I had similar planks for loading my autox SPitfire on the
trailer and when I became alarmed at the bowing I observed, I glued & screwed
a 2X4 onto each as a stiffening web and it is much better. For even heavier
weight, you could use 2 or even 3 2x4's - Of course the ramp would be
getting pretty heavy by then!

Seems like an easy choice, but maybe not.
I need to have a couple 2 by's for a ramp to my pickup.
No particular load, but could be pretty heavy .
last week it was a model A frame and axles.
2 x 10? 2 x 12? are wider boards stronger?
eight foot box so that limits the length to 8 feet.
anyone have an opinion?
