I purchased a used Dominator XT trailer and it is a nice trailer with cabinets, aluminum floor, air conditioner etc. ($6,500.00) I largely purchased it to make it easier to load and unload well I kind of screwed that one up.
I need to most likely chock the wheels disconnect the trailer, jack the tongue up and either modify the ramp (more on that later) and/or purchase some race ramps. I did get the car loaded yesterday after jacking the tongue up and mocking up some ramps out of wood so it's doable but damn I wanted to avoid the hassle. The 911 that isn't quite as low only took a little finesse to load and unload but the 914 race car is tough...
Anyway, I'm going to look for about a 4K winch and I'll either purchase or make a synthetic cable out of amsteel or something.

Some guys just carry around some lumber to drive the rear wheels of the truck up on.
Raceramps make some very nice lt wt ramps that can extend the stock trailer ramps
ramp headaches are usually the result of a low ride height+the configuration of the front spoiler
some guys use a quickly detachable front end
I need to use 3.5" Raceramp extensions
