Front headache and winch block. The block is a hydraulic cylinder rod. So it's HARD and chrome plated. Headache is also in stake pockets, so it can be removed if desired.

Adjustable "pin" jack. Adjustable front hitch. Currently with a 2 5/16" Ball, but have a pintle hitch for it for the heavy loads. See the large box tube in the center? It goes back to a make a "T" to sturdy the front hitch and keep it from bending during a hard turn.

Some of the welded "D" rings. Also, the square holes are for a side mounted ramp. No ramps made yet, but there is provision on both sides for one. It will insert into the square holes and be a folding ramp. Just easily removable.

The rear ramps. Dual ramps, bi-fold. As you can see they are HEAVY. First pic with them leaned forward. Second pic, pinned in the upright position. Third pic shows both pins. If you have a truck on that is a little long, they will tilt back a little farther, but still be folded up. Even in that tilted position, the rear lights will still be visible. Fourth pic, unfolded.

First pic shows the spring for assist. Just pull the clip and when the ramps are tilted forward, the spring will slide off. See the mount? Second pic, the opposite side. Pull the spring, lay the ramp down, pull the second clip, and the ramps just slide to the outside and detach.

A view from the rear. If you look, the lights and the "feet" are placed so that if the ramps are in the tilted back position, the feet don't block the lights.

Next time I need to move a D8 I'll give you a call.
