How To Raise the Chassis?

Driving an '00 CLK 430. What is the simplest way to raise the chassis an inch or so, to create clearance for a nasty driveway? Laying wood blocks down is not practical in my driveway. Thanks for your help.

99CLK320,
If you have a car that has been lowered with springs from H&R, Eibach, Vogtland etc. the only way I know is to return to the oem springs. If you have oems you are probably out of luck unless you can find adjustable air shocks of some kind. Never heard of anyone wanting to go higher. Have you tried to approach the driveway at an angle?

Get the thickest spring pads available. Believe a #5 front and #4 rear are the thickest offered.
