Anyone have suggestions on what ramp to buy for a lifted truck? Recently have lifted a 2015 6.7 f-350 powerstroke 4 inches with 37's., it is a lot high than it is now. Wondering if you guys suggest building my own ramp to the height of the truck or buy one.

My f250 has 8 inches of lift on 38s. I bring my enclosed trailer. Always.

Any standard ramp is going to be awfully steep.

I have a Dodge on 35's with a 4" lift and an add-a leaf in the rear. I found that the tri-fold quad ramp from Harbor Freight works quite well. Not having to worry about falling off a 5" wide bike ramp makes loading and unloading much easier.

That said, your truck is going to be a bit taller than mine and I suspect the angle of the ramp will be pretty severe. More than likely you're going to be building something for it to be really effective.

I guess I should have read your post, saw that it was lifted, my ramp may be to short for your truck, nice truck you have.

I had an 08 F350 with 10" lift on 40's, I had a 9' folding ramp and used the tailgate step, worked great. I then had a 12 Ram 3500 with 4" lift on 35's and I just used one of my 7' ATV ramps. Been using the 7' ramp ever since, I love it.

As long as those ramps locked in it wouldn't be terribly dangerous, that is the first time I have ever seen that setup, man what will they come out with next?!

That is a good one. I think you got at least 5 with that April 1 joke. Could you imagine the injuries, deaths, litigation, accidents and crumpled quads with that setup. Clever pic..
