Get two sheets of 3/4" treated plywood, and three 8-foot treated 2x12s.
Trim
each 2x12 to the length you want, then cut each one diagonally so you have
six
long wedges. Then build yourself a wedge-shaped box. That will give you
12-3/4" overall height -- the additional inch and a quarter probably isn't
going to cause you any trouble; I assume this is for a riding mower,
right?
It'll get over 1-1/4" easily.

One sheet on the bottom, one on top. Very stable, shouldn't sink.
