I need help with ramp dimensions

I have a potential new storage space for my 997.1 TT, that is if I can redo the ramp at the proper slope for my car. Anyone have ideas on the maximum degree of angle at the end of the ramp that I can have without tearing up my front lip every time?

It will depend on your suspension height. Stock OEM suspension?

I built ramps out of 2 x 8". At every 14 inches I added another board to make steps. After 3 boards I had a gentle ramp of about 5 inches over a length of 3.5 feet. Worked well to get my floor jack underneath

Yes, Stock OEM suspension. I would like to pour a concrete ramp from the warehouse down to the street, and the drop is about two feet.

To clear my previous lowered 997TT (height was GT3 specs) and my GT2, I use Race Ramps with extenders. The ramp slopes a distance of 6 feet (72 inches) and rises 10 inches, giving you a slope of 0.139.

I hope that helps.

The measurements I gave you should be enough for a lowered 997TT without taking off the lip. You can go head on, but you have to go very slow.
