Trying to level my motorhome

Any geometrical math folks out there?

I have a sloping driveway I want to park a 27 foot RV on but have it level. Wheelbase is 149".

I used a 2 foot level, placed it on the driveway, lifted it to level, measured the gap and it was 1 1/8".

What is the height or ramps I need for the front tires as I will be backing in?

    149 / 24 = 6.2
    6.2 x 1.125 = 6.975 inches


    Here's what's weird.
    My current RV is shorter and my ramp lift is about 11 inches total to bottom of tire.

    That still isn't quite enough for level.

    Somewhere around 7 inches
