if you have a car with factory air suspension, there's a "HEIGHT HIGH" button on the center console you can push that will raise the car 2-3 inches. if you don't have factory air suspension, you can consider going aftermarket air suspension, but i don't really think it's worth it if all you want to do is raise the car...

How is it possible that the car touches the ground? I have a LWB with lowering module and a kit and my car doesn't touch the ground with all passengers.

he makes it sound like he is already on air. So instead of touching the ground you mean scraping on the ground when entering the garage I think

One zero cost thing you might try is backing up at an angle on the driveway after exiting the garage. You don't say bottoming out is a problem going into the garage because the car is probably at an angle as it moves from the street to your driveway.

Default raising thecar

thanks every body for their response
I dont have lowering option in the counsole , there is no room in my carage to enter in at an angle way .I think the best way is to break the driveway and redesgn it in more long, less steep way
pardon my english is not that good
