Default Lift

My driveway is too steep and it drags front and rear entering and leaving. Yes I know to go at an angle and it helps but I am guessing that the PO may have lowered it. Is there a way for me to tell? If not, what suggestions would you have for lifting it an inch or two and/or a momentary air strut.

If it was lowered look for coilovers or aftermarket springs. Aftermarket springs are usually a bright color. You can't miss them unless the original owner powder coated them black before installation. Coilovers are pretty easy to spot too and can be adjusted (raised up). If all else fails measure from the center of your wheels to the bottom center of your wheel well on all wheels. Find another stock lexus and do the same to compare measurements.

When I was house shopping one of my requirements was a flat driveway entrance. I didn't want to deal with tearing up any of my lowered vehicles.

Side profile picture of the car? Can typically spot easily if a car is lowered by photos
