Ramp length for Backyard Buddy?

I had my Backyard Buddy lift installed yesterday and the standard 30" ramp is too steep to pull my Scuderia onto the lift without scraping the bottom of the car. The car does not scrape until the back wheels are getting ready to go onto to the lift. What ramp length is need to provide the proper clearance?

I talked to Jim @ Backyard Buddy today and he offers a 36" ramp option or can custom make any length I need.

If you need to buy longer ramps, I'd recommend buying theses lightweight plastic ones:

They work great and won't break your back
