Default Trailer ramp angle for cars with s2 type air air dam

Specing a custom built trailer that will fit through my single bay garage door. Need to figure out beaver tail height and ramp length. Right now I'm running just the R Lip and 4" pinch weld height. trying to plan ahead for a supermiata s2 type air dam (no spoiler protrusion). Want my Ramps to work for future plans. Can anyone tell me about what ramp angle I'll need to achieve? Eye balling leads me to believe I need no more than 5-6 degrees of ramp angle. Hoping someone with a S2 type air dam wouldn't mind putting an angle gauge on your trailer ramp.

Thanks in advance

Single ramps would need to be 10ft+ long. Build ramps to a convenient length then buy a set of 5ft race ramps.

Thanks for the reply--I was kind of figuring I'd need some race ramp + trailer ramp combo. Hoping to get an actual angle of approach
so i could back into overall ramp length needed based on beaver tail height. I'm unfortunately stuck with a deck over atv type trailer to get this thing in one of my absurdly narrow single bay garage doors. I may end up needing 10+feet of ramp plus a 72" race ramp
