Home Made Ramps
Built these the other day out of three 12ft 2x12s. They work great but weigh in at just over 75 lbs a piece. Only cost about 40 bucks and their built strong enough to drive a Mack truck up on.

Was thinking about doing the same, but luckily if I place my metal ones on the right spot in my drive way, I can drive right up, just missing rubbing the front bumper by 1/4 inch haha. once I lower 1" ill need to build me a set, nice job btw!

if you do paint them, may be worth spraying on some grip, or using skateboard grip tape for traction...

Rhino Ramps work just as good but are probably 5 lbs. each

I'm gonna find some rubberized coating and spray it on the top of the ramps as well as the bottom so that they won't slide across the concrete. It doesn't slide with the car but I'm afraid it may with the truck
