You'll need some sort of extension whether permanent or some thing you throw down when going in and out. Cheap solution get some 1x8s build something. Not much you can do unless you want to spend big$$ re doing the concrete. I remember reading about a company that made ramps for driveway entrances but I'll have to Google it.

I am still a newbee, but I have seen this question posted several times. As was stated above, there is a company that makes a filler if you will that bridges the angle to make it less steep. If I remember they are not cheap, but neither is a new front bumper.

Maybe try a 2 x 10 or 2 x 12 to bridge that steep angle and maybe by changing the angle that will make the difference.

Get some pressure treated lumber and plywood and build your self a nice looking ramp. If you use 2x6 stock with 3/4" plywood (all pressure treated so it doesn't rot) this will be more then enough to support your car and you can build it out as far as you need.

You have such a steep incline that even a filler ramp like the one posted I fear will not do the trick.

Just my 2 cents

Thats what I would do.

Have you tried backing in......worked for me.

May not work for you with space limitation but try approach at 45 degree angle. That technique works best at the street end in places where you would otherwise bottom out going straight in/out.

There is a cheap solution. Drill holes in the bottom of that conctrete slab, horizontally every few feet, pump sand into those holes and it will lift it high enough that the slope will not exist. Cost...less than $300.
Sure, that slab will no longer be flush against the driveway, but a couple of inches is not that much.

OK, I went to the site and it says that shipping is included in the
price (around $375). But when I tried to order a set, I was forced
to select a shipping method. However, selecting the slowest method
resulted in an additional $230 (approx) to the bill. So, is shipping
included in the $375 price, or is it an additional charge. Thanks.
These ramps look like just the thing I need.

If you buy an SUV that'll fix it...

Uh, wait...

vettedoogie

Tell us...have you tried backing in?

SkeeterC6 give me a call 888-737-8388 x214... the price of 374.95 does include the shipping, and I can do that over the phone.

amxmak1

yea i have tried backing in also... seems to be worse.. thanks for every1's input

This is a VERY bad idea. I have a pretty steep driveway, and I can pull in with only the flexible trim pieces scraping the ground. If I try to back it in............the front frame scrapes.

You could also fill in the dip with gravel for a fast, cheap and easy solution that doesn't alter the driveway
