Having experience the issue of most ramps hitting the bumper on the ur-quattro, I made up extensions using wood.
a single decent length of gate post, something like 4"x4", I extended with 2 equal lengths each side.I also notched them, such that the lock into the ramp, so that there is no chance of the ramp shifting as the car transfers front he wood to the ramp itself.
The ur is considerably lower, and for a while seemed to spend more of it's time in the air being works on. So, a quick but long term solution was needed.A sketch of what I did, I can supply. All in, it was about 45 minutes work, from getting the post, to chopping it into 4, and making the various cuts.The offcuts even became chocks.
