I think if I were going to go through the trouble of making ramps out of wood, I would just go all out and make full ramps. Although I would do it slightly differently than what I've seen online. I would take 2x12 (of whatever length needed depending on lowering and/or body kit) and make a single cut at an angle across the face of the board such that I would have two identical pieces that when stood on their side, would have the proper slope for the ramp surface along with a landing at the top for the wheels. Then take a number of these pieces stacked next to each wide enough for the tires, and use some recessed through-bolts to hold them all together. This should minimize the affect of warping on the function of the ramp, which can be an issue when you just stack the boards flat on top of each like most of the DIY wood ramps I have seen.
