Does a DCLB fit on a Penske car hauler trailer?

    It's complicated.
    Yes. Yes it does. Almost. Provided you get their 148" trailer and are willing to implement a slight modification.

    The piece of wood underneath the tires is 2" x 12" x 15" and is lag-bolted from underneath, to keep the ramp from sliding closed. The small strap is likely overkill, but it ensures that the ramp won't slide out (though the weight of the truck, along with with Vulcan strap almost guarantee that this won't happen.)

    BUT... I would NOT have attempted this without the super heavy-duty Vulcan straps!

    The truck/trailer combination made it safely across the country; approximately 3,600 miles due to some poorly thought-out side-road meanderings.

    Hi! I might have to do this. What size tires do you have?

    I’m thinking with the Vulcan straps, securing the ramps down, and creating a wood shim it should work. Also I’ll air down. This is my DCLB on 33”. I test fitted it today and it’s pretty tight
