Does anybody know if there is a company that makes driveway ramps? The entrance to our new driveway is almost like trying to climb a curb. With the longtubes on the car, I'm not very optimistic about being able to clear the driver's side cat.

I could probably get away with a few 2x4's and taking the entrance at a very shallow angle, but I'm looking for something a little more permanent, short of having the entrance redone (which will be in the works as soon as I have the $$$$...)

Until you can fix it right you could just try and ramp it some with Quickcrete concrete.

I have that problem with my current driveway.I just enter and exit the driveway on a good angle so one tire at a time goes past the incline to the street. You could put some asphalt on the bottom of the drive where it meests the street to form a small ramp. [Smile]

I had a problem with my driveway where it came off the street. There was a dip in the black top. I had a black top company build that part up two inches and everything was fine.
