Default First time on RTI Ramp

One of the local shops had an open house this weekend and I was finally able to take my Jeep on an RTI ramp. She scored a 8'9" which I think is pretty impressive considering two of the other four door Rubi's with long arm lifts got an 8'9" and an 8'5". The winner got 9'10" and was in a heavily modified YJ.

Here's my Rubi:






Here's Randy's Rubi which got an 8'9":


And Justin's which got an 8'5":


The winner, 9'10":

Haha nice Jason, very nice. I guess the OME long travel shocks are similar travel or even maybe a little more than the RE Bilsteins. Haha

Very funny though...

Me too (and I agree, nice pics).

I don't know of anyone anywhere near here with a ramp.

Ive never seen an RTI scored that way. Are you sure they didn't say like 910 not 9'10"? Usually it is like RTI = distance up ramp/ wheelbase X 1000 I think. Right? Is it a 20* or 23* Ramp?

Looks like some cool rigs there. Your Jeep did great!!! Does that YJ have some type of airshocks or something? Cause it looks like it has no springs, just mega long shocks. Thanks for sharing, looks like it was fun!

It was my first time going on one so I wouldn't know. I had always wanted to go on an RTI ramp ever since seeing pictures of one. The way you're describing the scoring makes sense since it would take the wheelbase into consideration which is important because right off the bat, a stock four-door JK will go further up the ramp than a two door similarly equipped, simply due to it's longer wheelbase.
