Anybody using driveway ramps?

My driveway has a relatively steep entrance, it's fine at stock height but it's very close to scraping and will scrape if I'm not careful or have a passenger. I'm looking to do a modest drop soon (inch to inch and a quarter), and it will definitely scrape all the time once I do. So, driveway ramps. Looked at some options at https://curbramp.us/ and they look like they would work, you can mount them mechanically or just put them out when you need them which is what I would likely do. They're not crazy expensive, but they're not cheap either, anyone have experience with something like this? Is there a hidden drawback I'm not considering?

Other than your HOA or city saying something or straight up going missing. They're worth it for the price of a broken lip.

I've been using https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pyle-Car...DR23/317220253 and they have been great. Very sturdy and my cars never scraped the driveway ever since. When bolted together they're super heavy too so I won't worry about them being stolen. The only minor problem I have is the drain hole on the side tends to catch all kinds of stuff especially after raining so you'll need to keep cleaning them out.

Thanks, I'll check those out too. For the record, I'm well aware of angling, but my drive is a single car wide, so there's only so much I can do.

I've had the Bridjit ramps for years, no regrets. Make sure you bolt them together, if your mailman is anything like mine he'll make a game out of trying to slam on the brakes to split them apart

To crunch or not to crunch, that's the question...

My driveway curb is pretty bad, but so is my HOA so I’ll have to game time decision this. If I buy a M2, it will have the 10mm port drop.
