What have other people done to get around front lip damage due to dodgy driveway entrys?

I'm sick of seeing my car sitting up like a Pajero but if I lower it, I struggle to get in and out of the bottom of my driveway without smashing the front bar.

Get someone to knock you up a set of cheap steel ramps Damo, I know a lot of guys who have the same problem and the ramps have fixed the issue.

Get rid of the house. Its no good

EDIT* (Sarcasm) I base the above on nothing to do with your actual house Damo lol

LOL. Depends how much space you have to work with. Extend it/make it more gradual where possible? Else the old angle techniques...

10mm thick steel plate and dyna bolts to even out the surface.. other wise i can make you ramps if you want bro...

 

[evopwr]

make up some fiberglass lips and replace when necessary :lol:

+1 to jayromes idea of steel plates and dyna bolts... That's what I did, problem solved.
Local scrapyard will have the 10mm plate just need to measure your driveway....

^^ I don't think many landlords would appreciate you drilling into concrete/paved driveways for dynabolts!

I am currently in search for rental properties, and a lot of them I just cannot apply for because I physically would not be able to get my car up or down the driveways. It's not really what you need in addition when the rental market is so bloody tight!

Porta shed on the road. Ha ha ha. Um what if u just made ramps which u can move urself. Bit of a pain but better than damage. Otherwise don't galants have airbag suspension. I got one a few years back which had them

Just keep it legal height! That's what I do... Better than not being able to drive it properly

Well, it turns out dean had the best suggestion so i've moved house. Better driveway entrance and much bigger shed. I won't be dropping it on it's guts but I will have it at a much less pajero like stance in the next week or so. Moving was a nightmare and has kept me busy (and away from the forum) but all set up now and it was Definately worth it.

Does anyone know any good suspension and alignment places in the northern suburbs?

haha, nice Damo!
