I have the same issue. I want to raise it back to stock height. If I remember correctly, you
turn clockwise to raise and counter clockwise to lower? Just do the equal amount and the have alignment checked?

Do you have a two car width or three car width driveway? If a three car width, then the way that works is you have to drive parallel to the drive, then put one front wheel on the apron while moving forward,then the back on the same side, then gradually turn up the driveway and you will be fine every time,same thing backing out. I use this technique with my 2011 Z07. I have not tried It with a two width drive...don't know if there is enough room.

This issue is a primary concern for me when I look at a house. It drives my wife and my realtor crazy. I ended up getting the zra1 special high rise splitter from RPI designs. It is so effective, the side skirts scrape before the front end does now. Don't ask how I know how.

Solved!
Now I didn't have the rolled curb issue. Instead was just a little too steep of a grade at the end if driveway followed by a small gutter on road. Little "curb bridgers" just no good. Got a great piece of advice and bought some thick 1/2 in thick flexible rubber matting. Layered two and boom! Got the extra clearance I needed. Now rubber mats are sold mostly for gym use and in that setting are crazy expensive. Found out tractor supply sells " horse stall mat" that is the same exact stuff and is only $42 bucks for a 4ft by 6ft piece. Can buy cut layer however you want to custom fit your driveway. Now taking the vette out does not include the gut wrenching scrap anymore!
