Building An RTI Ramp

---

Building an RTI ramp seems to be a common idea for Jeepers or Clubs. Many times trying to find the plans to build an RTI ramp can be almost impossible. We here at MoJeepin.com decided to give you exactly what you have been searching for. That's right... RTI ramp plans ready for you to print and build.

What is RTI?

The Ramp Travel Index is for measuring how flexible the suspension is. It consists simply of a 20° ramp on which you drive up to the point where one wheel leaves contact with the ground. You divide the distance traveled up by the wheelbase, so you get a percentage. Multiply this by 10 to get a more accurate score. So if you have a vehicle with a wheelbase of 100" and you travel up 40", you get a score of 400. Anything over 500 is a very good result on non-modified vehicles.

Remember that you can make additions to these plans or even use different material then steel to make your RTI ramp. Aluminum, from what we hear is a lighter weight building material that is more expensive and a good rust proofing metal. Its a great choice if you have the spare cash but then again, if you have a good welder and you can slap on some good rust-proofing paint, steel might just be your answer. Safe building!
