Default Odd question. Raise the Z

Yup as the title states, i may be the only one ask this, but anyone know of a way to perhaps raise the Z about 1-2" inches?

Situation: My current driveway is a pretty hefty incline. Getting the Z up is really hard every time and the tailpipes always scrape. Don't hit the right angle and its bad sometimes.

So if there is a way I could raise the Z temporarily (looking for new house in the next year) that would be awesome. If its an adjustable way even better.

My other option is building some ramps that i would have to pull down the drivway and onto the street everytime I pull in. Which isnt alot, I drive on the weekends only and not every weekend.

Just any help would be great.

You should invest in some coilovers. It will give you the ability to raise the car a few inches and then once you buy the house you can drop it.
