I have a 1969 Superior on a GM chasis with leaf spring suspension. When I tried to drive it up my new home's driveway, the rear scraped the road. I needed to put a railroad tie under the rear wheels to raise it enough to drive it up. Any suggestions for a system (air, hydraulic,or) to raise the rear about 6 inches at the wheels to get it up and down the driveway. It's really unpleasant to use this way!

If you have a power steering pump , maybe you
could use hydralic rams.

Have you tried backing in? It sometimes does make a difference.

Another thought is to add some really large industrial caster wheels to the very rear edge of the chassis rails.

Seen frequently on FSSG rigs with long overhangs.
