I finally was able to get my under deck ladder installed and tested it works great. 15" is too far back because even though you can lay flat down and reach it to pull it out you will most likely not be able to reach it when it's down to pull it back up. I see 2 options, 1 you can add a piece of aluminum flat bar frop the front crossmember to that second one then add a bow eye on the face of the first crossmember and mount the ladder in the center. 2 mount the ramp off to either side and leave the eye alone. I went with the off center approach because i stuck a ford blue oval badge in the center of mt crossmember lol. I tried to take pictures but no matter what i do to my camera settings it keeps saying file too big.
