Got an enclosed trailer and was test fitting today.  Has a winch and when I winched to the spot I wanted the car it rolled forward.  Had to hold it back.  Obviously I think I need to raise the trailer some more in the front and of course put stops on the trailer, when I am sure where I want to keep the car.  I have seen some trucks back their rear tires onto rhino ramps.  Is that okay to do do and is it only only for loading and unloading or can I keep it on the ramps all day you think?  Other suggestions?  Different jack?  Taller block for the jack?  I would think the rhino ramp idea won't work on soft grass?

 REDGAR,  we made a jack block out of 3 ( 2x8's ) screwed together bout 2ft wide, keep the nose up a little to keep tension on the cable till you set the car.  there is usually two of us putting the car in.  SHADOW  Wink Wink Wink

Well today I drove the car in and crawled through the window, NASCAR style.  Not easy but seemed like less hassle then the whole winching, car rolling on top of me thing.  Not sure I am going to continue doing that but that is what I did today.
