Get a piece of 1-1/2" Z angle and bolt it down across the front on the floor of the bed cross ways. Slide two 2x12"'s in under it at the same width as the ATV tires. Make them just long enough to support the rear of the tires. Set your ramps on the end of the 2x12's, drive the ATV up on them.

$20.00 for the 2x12's and $20-25.00 for the angle.
