Yeah...I have to go up my driveway at 45 degrees and very slowly or the under stut brace or my splitter will scrape...

I could install a sharpened aluminum splitter and do my yard in no time...

LOL, I'll have to try that splitter idea.

Even going in at a 45 my hits (3 wheelin' and all) and I'm about 3/4" - 1" higher. The driveway is just too steep. I was under the car last week and noticed the M7 USS is all scratched up.

Oddly enough, the only picture I have of my car is the one taken by the photographer on my wedding day (I'm the groom):


The tires are 215/40 Falken FK 452 (but for some reason they look narrower). The rest can be found in my sig.
