Ramp Design
I believe the ramp design should include a bar/lip on the far end of the wooden ramp (where the high end of the black commercial ramp ends) to stop the black ramp from sliding off the wood. I have a set of those black plastic (or whatever) ramps and the rubber feet they have do not stop them from sliding all over my smooth concrete garage floor. I am real sure it would be a bad thing for them to slide forward off of those wooden ramps.
OOPs, now I see you sunk the plastic ramp into the wooden ramp to avoid the slide off problem, just saw that. Discard all before "OOPs".

Here's the ramp I made that cost me zero dollars and a little time.
My next door neighbor was building a deck a couple of years ago and had a bunch of scrap wood he was throwing away. I figured I would put them to good use.
These are 2x12 boards and I can raise the car between 1.5 inches to a little over 8 inches -- front air dam never touches the ramp.
