So I have an pending all day job on a steep hill. In order to level my van I'm thinking putting the rear tires on these types of ramps.

Speaking of, while my circle drive was being built, that put my trailers out of service mostly. Lordy, I had to use a Bane ramp for my Orbot. That sucked!!

I've pondered the idea of mounting the TM on a Hydraulic 4 point axis platform that could be tilted independently to keep TM level. But I would estimate such an item would post about $2000?

they're not all created equal
I have these.





The little thingie on the front middle minimizes skid.
Matter of fact, no slide/skid at all on my babybutt smooth garage floor

That's overthinking it.
It isn't like you've never been a cop in SF before
Have you had any failures related to inclines in the past??
If not....don't fix what ain't broke

I've had waste tank issues with the water being blown through the blower when the slope angle caused the float switch to fail. And water feed issues from my fresh water tank.
how steep are we talking
I drove by the place today, and I think I'll be ok

I stopped serving 2 counties over here because these rich assholes loved having a house built on a steep hill where the driveway is a steep slope. I was miserable every time I drove to those houses

You would hate working in Mill Valley.
I feel like a Mountain Goat climbing/driving some of those roads- especially when I drove the Vortex.
