Car scrapping up hills

[DJRumdada]

So I just moved and I can’t park in the driveway with out the car scraping pulling out.

Concrete guys want to charge 7k to 10k to try and level it out. Thats not going to happens

So I’m looking for ideas that are much more cost effective. Possibly getting air bags to raise the car?

Not sure if that’s a thing or how expensive it would be.


Or any tricks you guys have done. At this point it’s almost like I need a suv

Could get something like a curb ramp and come in at a slight angle to prevent scraping once you reach the end of the driveway.

Surely you can angle across the opening? Go slow and deliberate, find out the dimensional limits (without, of course, hitting anything). Good luck!

Lots and lots of 2x4s. Some plywood on top maybe.

Time for a lifted stinger!

So it’s no the front end scraping it’s the undercarriage. It’s just like too steep I guess.

How about a pic or some pics? That would have to be one ridiculously constructed driveway to scrape the underside of a car with c. seven inches of clearance.

Are you talking about something like this where the hill at the entrance of your drive way is steep enough to where the middle underneath the car scrapes?

Take that idea and use a steal plate without the under board

I'm lowered and it limits the drive ways I can pull into lucky no issues on speed bumbs

Had the same issue with my Stinger. The wheelbase is so long, when the car is lowered, the middle can scrape pretty easily. My driveway is in 2 pieces basically. First half is angled upward, and the second half is flat. The spot where they meet was about an inch away from scraping the center of the car. The only thing you can do is go back to stock, or put it on bags so you can raise it up.

My neighbor bought a couple of those when he had his Lamborghini and then Ferrari. They worked well for him. There's another neighbor on the next street over with a Z06 who also uses those. Probably the easiest solution for front/rear scrapes.

@DJRumdada those Amazon ramps might work if you use them in the driveway instead of the street.

That looks dicey as all get out. Too narrow by half, but it's that stupid curb running along the right side of the driveway that creates the impossible situation: if not for that, you could approach at an extreme angle and turn in without scraping. Are you lowered? Because in the pics it doesn't look high enough to scrape (pics don't always convey reality, though).

I've got a similar lip on my driveway, and then it goes down hill from there. My street is narrow enough that I am forced to approach and leave at an angle. Have you tried backing in? Based on what I can see, it seem like you should be able to without scraping anything.

I’m stock height, I got summer dunlaps on right now that are probably a bit smaller than that stock AS it came with but still scrapped with those.

This seems like the most logical try for now. Just not sure it’ll help once the front wheels get over is where the scrapping happen.

Keep em clean enough and you'll be able to return them to Amazon if they don't work.
