I made some wooden ramps.  Built like a staircase, with 4 steps.  There is
no danger of them crashing down.  Back onto them, or drive forward.  Works
for all vehicles.  Got this trick from the local fire department.  Safest
ramps around.

Be sure to CHOCK your wheels always when jacking or using any type of ramp,
etc.
