Default Raise F ride height ES350

I cannot get my new 2013 ES350 into the garage over the threshold because of the low front spoiler. It doesnt have air suspension. How can I raise it an inch? Dan

If it were me, I think that, before I started making modifications to the car, I would try to be creative and see if I could engineer a short ramp that the car could go over before it reached the threshold and that would allow the front of the vehicle to clear the threshold.

Is your ES lowered? Mine has no problem fitting over high(ish) parking blocks, which other cars I've owned would have bottomed out on.

You can angle your vehicle into the driveway/garage which will cause the chin to stick out less as oppose to driving in straight. You can also back your car into the driveway which will likely be a 100% guarantee fix since the overhand of the rear is shorter than the front.

I've learned a few tricks after years of driving lowered vehicles.
