Have any of you ever literally got stuck going up a driveway?
My car is lowered about .5-1 finger gap up front and 2gap in the rear riding on 20s. About two weeks ago I got stuck going up on a steep driveway in the weirdest way. So picture going up a driveway at angle with the front pass as the nose, the front pass susp. compresses the rear driver susp. is compressed and the rear pass is up in the air. I literally got stuck doing three wheel motion lol. At first I didnt know what happened and I thought I shot one of my struts or something, so I stayed there dumbfounded for a few mintues until my friend came up and said lets push it back down onto the street. Once back on the street everything was fine so I think. Since the first incident I've had my car almost get stuck twice but on each time I gave a little more gas to get the momentum to over come the incline. I dont know if something is wrong now because it seems like its becoming an issue, also it seems like my car is pulling to the right ever so slightly now. I've gotten 2 alignments this year from a lowered car specialty shop and its 60 per visit fml.

so you mean when you go up ramps/driveways one side of your car literally hikes up into the air off of the ground? thats NOT normal at all, unless youre on hydraulics no wheel should ever stay stuck in the air period. if that is what youre implying I would advise you take it to a shop asap and drive slowly incase a suspension component is ready to break off or loose.

That's sorta happened to me at school before. Theres a steep entrance to one of the parking lots that you have to make a pretty sharp right turn to go up it. And for some reason they decided to put a speedbump right at the bottom of it. So when you turn you go over the speedbump and the right rear wheel get's lifted off the ground. Of course i have enough momentum to make it and get traction, but it does make a little 'chip' when that wheel catches.
