Default RTI Ramp

has anyone ever made a scaled down RTI ramp for R/C truucks?
I was just curious, because i noticed after i put in my new shocks, i get a bit more suspension travel.

I knew somebody was gunna ask sooner or later. An RTI ramp is a ramp used for offroad trucks to score them on the articulation of the suspensin. It is a 20 degree ramp which they drive up only one side of the vehicle and continue to drive up the ramp until one wheel leaves the ground. Then, the distance that it traveled up the ramp, is divided by the wheelbase and multiplied by one thousand to give you a score out of a thousand. The higher the number, the more articulation your suspension has.
It looks like this:
