2 feet tall....and 4 feet tall....its all personal preference...you can have a four foot tall jump and a 4 foot gap or a 4 foot tall jump and a 2 foot gap .....whats the run up to the jump look like (how are you gona get speed to jump it)

2 feet tall could be like 8 feet if you go pretty fast. I have a crappy tabletop that's like 18 inches tall and its only 3 feet long, so you only need to be like 30 feet back from it.

if you want to get air, make the ramp steep and don't make a big gap.for the 2foot the gap should be about 6 feet, and for the 4 foot ramp make a 10 foot gap
