Preload might raise the back ¼", but the front won't move. Being 260# myself I have to avoid speed bumps. I found that out the hard way as I have a ton of them in my complex. I don't even risk them any more and just go around the edges of them.
As far as your ramp issues go, not really sure what to tell you about that. Sounds like one of those rock and a hard place issues to me and neither one is going to budge.
Do you mean adding preload (making the ride harder), or taking it away (ride gets softer)? I also think some sporty, softer tyres might help the grip in the wet problem - will try that when it gets wetter here, and report back.
