It's just a supported ramp... what ideas might you need?

Just make sure it wont fold, twist or fall over when a rig is on it. Don't use PVC, wood or glass. Am I helping yet?

Some info I found online:

"The Ramp Travel Index is for measuring how flexible the suspension is. It consists simply of a 20?-ramp on which you drive up to the point where one wheel leaves contact with the ground. You divide the distance traveled up by the wheelbase, so you get a percentage. Multiply this by 10 to get a more "handy" score. So if you have a Toyota with a 100" wheelbase and you can travel up 40" you get a score of 400.

Anything over 500 is, on unmodified cars, a very good result. A few years ago 1000 was believed to be the maximum achievable."

Actually.... check the drawings at the bottom of this link for further build info.
