Tank treads will not fix this "problem". The instant tread pod (whatever you want to call it) begins ascent of the ramp, the pitch of the frame will change, unless you create a controlled suspension system to level the frame.

Take it from a team that mastered tank treads and still hasn't built them in over a decade - it's not worth it.
