    How do you use the 2x8 to extend the ramps? I can't picture it.

    Putting a short section of 2x8 at the toe of each ramp helps if the bumper is bottoming out at beginning of its travel up the ramp.

    Yeah, I have to back it down to the foot of my driveway just to be able to drive it up on ramps. It sits so goddamn low.
