Anything out there or ideas? On some of the ramps I launch at the cross frames hit the top of the ramp and has taken the paint off and scuffed them pretty good. Need to repaint before rust takes hold, looking for ideas to keep from happening again. Maybe some heavy box liner wrapped there or a really tough spray coating?

What about bolting something like a snowmobile hyfax on the bottom of the crossmember that is hitting? Let the plastic scuff the ground no harm, no foul.

search ebay for skid plate. About 18,000 ideas to choose from.

Important consideration is how to mount. Anything from double sided tape to drilling/welding threaded boss for mounting bolts.

Perhaps some RV overhang wheels mounted just low enough to touch first.

Or you might need to have a drawbar that is higher on the truck to lift the tongue higher.

Taller trailer wheels and tires will also help.

Chuck Norris will protect it. I'll see if I can dig up his number for you.

I have seen where someone welded a trailer roller & bracket to the forward cross member allowing it to roll over the ramp peak. As for coatings, I have wondered if the Line-X truck bed liner type paint would work for the cross members, shouldn't stone chip and you can get that stuff in colors.
When my trailer was new, I covered all forward and underside surfaces with 3m Scotchcal paint protection film. It took alot of film and about a month to complete but after 3 years and about 5k miles no stone chips anywhere on the trailer.

Exactly what I had in mind, just have to find that material in the right size and shape

Yeah, my ride hight and attitude are almost perfect so don't want to mess with that. Rv wheels might work, will look for some ideas

My trailer has casters on two of the cross members for it to bottom out on. Works well!
