Just make the feet about 1 1/2" shorter than the ground. Also with the feet you can add a diagonal brace underneath that will give a lot more strength to the ramp without adding too much extra weight. Another thing to consider is that most couplers aren't designed for vertical loading. Horse trailers have Bulldog couplers because they are designed for some vertical loading. Most trailers come with the standard A-Frame couplers though. It's a not a big deal to have to drive the vehicle a little to get the ramps up or down. Having the truck and trailer take off is scary and sometimes there's nothing you can do to stop it. With the feet, you'll never have this problem.
