Hey Michael, the 5-1/2 inch height of the Valterra StayPut Tandem Trailer Tire Changing Ramp # VAL68MB that you referenced is the center of the "flat" part where the tire rests when fully on the ramp. So basically at the lowest point in the center of the arced portion of the ramp. Is that a tall enough lift for you?
