Needs to be put more into context, but it sounds like the addition of a homemade 2x4 lumber setup to add additional clearance for the cars with longer or lower front snouts; this helps to prevent contact with the Rhino ramps or adds the extra clearance to drive up the Rhino ramps.

thanks SoCal.

but 2x4, is it a measurement? 2 ft wide 4 ft long? or is it just a name?

2 inches thick by 4 inches wide, length unspecified. However 2x4's are typically 1.5" thick by 3.5" wide.

2x6 works better as it gives you a slightly wider target.

how does 1.5" thick by 3.5" wide serve as an extension to the ramps? make no sense at all.

each front wheel is way too wide for the 3.5" wide board. i thought it should be as wide as the ramp itself.
