Unhappy Increasing Ride Height 07 E350 Sport

I just bought a great car, but the exhaust system scrapes when i attempt to pull up a steep driveway into my garage. Is there a safe and inexpensive way to increase the ground clearance so I can get it into the garage?

Before doing anything requiring $$$, note that the chrome tips are adjustable. Loosen the fasteners, slide the tips a little forward - and see if it alleviates the scraping. (Just assuming that your prob is at the "bottom" of the driveway)

Scraping Solution

Thanks for the "tip." Unfortunately, the exhaust pipes scrape beginning at the center of the car out to the tailpipe. Maybe I need a new house!

Funny thing is most people want to lower their car.

or fix the driveway.
Only in the US people park in their driveway and drive on the parkway.

How about putting a 2x4 in the gutter of your driveway.
