With that steep an angle, your wood blocks would not sit square to the frame. You want the bearing area of the wood blocks to be perpendicular to the frame.

I would recommend a minimum 10" (9-1/4" nom.) width for the ramp. You don't want the ramps rolling over on themselves should the trailer shift.

Your plan of attack seems perfectly logical to me. Keep us posted!
Thanks Silverloaf. Will do.
