I could not find ramps to clear my Viggen's front bumper (at least not for an affordable price)
I bought two 10 or 12' lengths of 2x10's, and custom made a 4 step ramp that worked with my approach angle. The trick thing that I was able to do is make it so that both ramps fit together for storage, and form a perfect rectangular block that I bolt together with allthread and wing nuts. Throw in a rubber nonstick coating on the bottoms of each so they don't slide on the concrete when I'm driving up, and a carry handle, and it's a pretty slick set of ramps for next to nothing in cost!
...plus they are fail safe!
