[DeTomaso] Driveway problem

[Rob Dumoulin]

I would seem that if only the floor pans bottom out, you can make the
pyramid almost as tall as the lowest car ground clearance. That way, the
 pyramid would not bottom out between the time when the initial two wheels
go over and the last two and would give you the maximum height on the last
two......it would seem.

I feel for you.  My Z is so low, I have to travel with RV leveling blocks
just in case I get a flat.

Never had to use them, but they go together like legos to anything you need,
even a pyramid. Easy way to try things out to get the right height.

Good luck.
