Dropping Ramp Issues

We have a piston mounted on the base of our robot to push the ramp down. But it isn't strong enough to push our ramp passed the point where gravity will bring it down. Our bot's frame is triangle shapped. We can't mount the piston higher on the frame to increase leverage because the throw isn't long enough. An extra piston wouldn't have the power either. We need a way to multiply the force from the piston. Any ideas?
