That’s a great item for a high step in a drive way gutter but doesn’t help a steep pitch up the driveway. Definitely a great product though...

Yeah, I knew it wouldn't work for everyone's woes, but figured it was worth a shot for some of the issues people have in here.

Each time I roll down I have to lay down large sheets and planks of wood to minimize the pitch. It’s such an ordeal driving it. After I sloooooooowly pull in I have to put away half a tree of wooden pieces neatly away...and don’t even talk about parallel parking. That’s like entering a mine field...
I think it's time for you to buy the KW HLS kit. Not cheap but this should do the job for you...

Nice, I always wondered about this type of kit. 45mm of lift doesn't seem like enough for that price tag though imo.


I haven't done any research on the quality of this kit but another option on the market:
