What did you do to help with the space between the ground and the top of the ramp? Or does that even matter with what your moving in and out of your shed?

You set the stringers (and the ledger board) down from the opening by the thickness of your decking.
If tou are using 4' x 8' x 7/8" plywood as decking, and 4" x 8" x 6' stringers (on 8" vertical) with a 4" x 4" etc. ledger, the top of the ledger should be 8-7/8" down from the lip of the shed floor/door.
