There's a specific angle? Does any angle not achieve the same effect?

Yes, Standard RTI ramp is 20 Deg.
Some variations are 23 Deg or even 30 Deg.

the angle allows you to get your front tire up more before your rear hits. if you cant get that high with a lower angle its fine but if you get any more somehow you will need a new ramp.

But today the standard is considered the 30 degree ramp ,because most bolt on lifts will run out a 20-23 degree ramp today ...But you don't need a ramp for rti just get on a site with a calculator and plug in how high you can raise 1 tire b4 lifting another and your wheelbase ,and you can see your scores for 20/23/30 degree ramps

With how technical and "knowledgable" you act and get on people for not knowing and claiming you know so much, why don't you get off your computer and get a job at a dealership or an offroad shop or some where useful,Or do you just read articles and regergitate on to these forums while having a stock truck? Cause siriously you always have something negitive to say about me my posts or anyone else for that matter for suggesting "name brand" parts...oh im sorry i like stuff that dosent break an sorry for offending you brcuase you can not affoard these said parts...has anyone even see pictures of your jeep? Do you even have one?

^^^ don't take people words to heart... what ever gets the job done dude I flex out on a sloped cement wall all the time & just hit an actual RTI ramp the other day! Held the best flex in the full size SUV jeep class at the teraflex all jeep show!!! My score was 645, even better than the long arm ZJs that were there!

I could care less about the body (i know, "but its a 2 door") I picked the thing up stock when I was 18ish for $500... who cares! Like a always say LA's may ride nice, but don't give you much if any more flex!

i have to disagree ryan... ha ha i have pics of my 1st and 2nd zj's with short arms and my current one with long arms flexing, longarms blow short arms out of the water in every aspect besides clearance.
