I've been up and down a bunch of ridiculous inclines. GF always says I can't make it, but I do it to prove her wrong.

You basically have to drive at it sideways. Like you want to put one of the front tires on first. When that happens you just turn up the incline. So.... approach the driveway at a 45 degree angle or less. All of this is done very slowly until you clear the first tire without scraping.

Just got swift springs which aren't very aggressive (0.70'' front and 1'' in the back), but I can still clear every incline I have been able to before.

If the entrance to the incline is small it will be very hard not to scrape.


EDIT: read tekstar's reply

I'm guessing that happened on the curb next to the incline and not the actual incline itself.

 

2x4's are perfect btw if you can't get a good angle. Currently I am still at stock ride height because of my driveway. I take it slow at 45 degree angle and still scrape the plastic part in front of the wheels (strakes?)

 

thanks everyone...i find it hard to believe that this problem can be solved by going in at an angle but like i said the beginning, it's not the steepest driveway, so maybe you guys are right. If not, I'm glad to hear 2x4s work...ill keep everyone posted on the results

 

From your pictures it should be a piece of cake. Angle it in.

 

 

Nope, I scraped on the incline. If you angle >45 degrees, it's too much.

That driveway should be a piece of cake though!

 

You can use some floatable concrete, concrete patch and clean that approach up.

 

Where did you guys purchase the lip protectors?

Just ask this guy for advice ...
