I was just doing a search on the subject and saw that alot of people extend the gate or raise the front of the trailer at the ball mount. I think that will work for the back. I wonder about the side ramp door then. It has the same problem. I had it built on the left front side. My backyard mower comes out that side and seeing that it is a Stander, I can't lift the front end without a wheelie. I will try the 2x4 under the end of the door. Maybe I will left the wood get scraped away as far as it needs to be for that mower to fit and then protect it with Line-X or something. That is, unless someone else has another idea.
