Carry 12' x 12' x 2' pavers with you.  |
When the levelers come down they pretty much hit the ground not enough room for a 2" anything. I think if you drove it up on some wood levelers then put down the paver it would work  |
On my old Monaco I had about 3 inches. One time I had a problem. I just put one brick under the lowest corner. Had room to get under it. Raised it to max and was able to get they others in, just barely. It worked in that spot at least. I think your ramps would be perfect if you give up a bit of storage for them. Ramps are a lot less work too. |
There is probably 3/4" when the jacks swing down... maybe a big piece of plywood to even out the load. Other wise it drives the jack straight down into the dirt. Fill dirt that is uncompacted is the worst, caliche works better.

3/4 of an inch is not a lot. tried lots of different woods. none realy worked well. Many would bend to much and the hard woods would just snap in half. Perhaps 1/4 inch of steel would work.

Yeah I'm trying the plywood as we speak we'll see how it holds up in the rain/mud I didn't put a lot of weight on them just enough so you could move around and not feel like your drunk  wait maybe I was 
The steel might be the trick I happen to have a 4x4 piece of 1/4 inch rusting away out back. If they work I see a new product to market
