You can use treetrucks. It will work fine. 4 ft isn't high enough to create a tonne of instability.

Ok...so whats that have to do with my answer...you aren't even building a drop then. Just a simple Ramp. Do a search this was asked like 2 days ago and some links were posted for trail building

I'll get back to you on stuff. I'm going to the Home Depot (hopefully) tommorow morning and picking up some 2 by 4's and some nails. Gonna spend the whole day making some north shore stunts. I already got a SMALL ladder drop (2ft.) Pics by request. If you want to see how its done I might end up drawing some sketches tonight on what I'm doing tommorow. I'm deffinatly going to make a teeter totter and some drops. Then some skinnies. Thinking of getting 10-15 2 by 4's. It's expensive though. I'll see what I can do.
Enough of me, Like Mael said if its on a hill there is no need to make a roll/drop in. You need to explain the area a little bit more. If you have AIM IM me. I could most likely help you out.

it is on about a 4 foot hill already but then it gets flat and then there is a drop off ...we r goin to make a bridge for the drop and a wooden drop in on top of the hill so we have an 8 foot drop in and there isn't that big of a space between the drop and the drop in...maybe about 15 feet
