What we need is like what is in the drawn picture, a box sitting the box down inbetween the tires to get the box floor low.

3600# would be enough for load I think since the cars are about 2200lbs. And those loads are recommendations, not points where things break if you go a pound over. My Lightning is only good for towing 5000 lbs. But don't tell it since we tow about 7200-8000 lbs around all the time.

hmmm 77.7" is center of wheel? Is that what DRW means? That would mean less than 6ft between the wheels then and not enough to load some cars for sure. Axles get widened all the time at various places though. I should measure the road and see how car we can open it up.
