I've got a possible fix for the sliding problem. How about attaching the ramps to a piece of plywood? If the plywood was perhaps 8-10" long on the approach side (the beginning or bottom) of the ramp the wheels would easily climb onto the relatively thin plywood and then transition to the ramp itself without the ramp slipping because it is anchored to the plywood which is held in place by the weight of the vehicle.

That should work. But when u make the extension that is screwed on temporarily it should solve this problem too as initial incline is much shallower and the car's weight is already on the ramp assembly. Ill take snaps tomorrow.

I have the 12,000 Rhino Ramps. Sport Pkg, unmodified.

I take off the wind deflectors and slap a 2x4 in front, and move it behind the rears when I'm up on the ramps. I have only used them in the driveway, never in the garage.
