how can I raise the backend of my rv to keep it from dragging going up my dr.way ?

What make and model RV? If a towable is your RV hooked up properly? ( LEVEL?)Or do you have a step driveway?I have wheels at the back of mine. Bolted in the frame. Looks like this but these are clamp ons. Its the only pic i can find to show what I mean...

Here are some possible solutions for your class B.1. Put skid protectors or wheels on the back of the RV2.. If your driveway is steeply pitched, you can use some aftermarket or wood ramps to change the angle.

Depends on RV, How bad it drags and the terrain.My "B" will drag unless I enter/depart at an angle. I have grass on either side of drive that I can drive on. I once had a 5th wheel that had little dolly wheels on the back. If Your vehicle is a "B" or "C" the little wheels may raise the rear too high and the pulling tires lose traction. You can add Air Bags to any vehicle. You could maybe re-design your drive as I had to do that to keep the wife's car from dragging.

best to fill in drive way to make less angle==concrete , wood ,or asphalt

The wheels and skids on the back of the RV may do more harm than good. They actually lower the point of contact which may put more upward pressure on the rear of the RV. A better solution is to go in at an angle which reduces the apparent slope, kind of like going up a steep hill by walking across the face of the hill at an upward angle.Another good solution is to use long planks laid in the driveway to extend the slope further out, thereby reducing the angle of the slope.The best solution is to redo the driveway with a shallower slope, however that is mucho work and expense.

Two 1250 lb. 6in. steal wheels under rear. $65.00 Now used 8000 miles works great.

That rig sits quite high. I would be deathly afraid to drive it on many mountain and canyon roads. One that comes to-mind is the road leaving Yosemite National Park out the north-east. I could see myself driving on 3 tires, or worse yet, roll over and end up 500 feet down a ravine. Our rig with all our suspension upgrades, handled that extreme road condition perfectly. If not for the upgrades, we might have been food for the bears. Sitting so high would have guaranteed it.

You need to be extra careful with that rig on such roads. Never let it get away from as did our rig.

You can find the kits at the company that makes them, Actionvansuspension.com out of San Clemente, Ca. They have pricing on the website for the kits. Larry is the owner, nice guy.
Here it is at a different angle.

It is an Action Van lift kit, the kit has longer and stiffer front coils and modified A-arms and a basic block lift under the leaf springs in the rear. Tires are Toyo AT 235/85R16's

I put a 4" lift and 32" tires on my rig, nice not having to worry about dragging the tail

I have increased air in bags to 70 psi, much easier however will still drag on big ruts or driveways. If you dont have air assist bags, might be a good time to get some

This is what we do, we have a short steep driveway and our RV sits low.

Make sure your fresh water and waste tanks are empty when at home as the extra weight in back will lower the rear end.

It seems the rear will hold up to a point, then suddenly drop a lot when weighted past a certain point. I say this because with our rig at home, when I prep the tanks for long term storage, I fill all 3 tanks to capacity along with a little bleach, left to soak for 20-30 minutes. The rear of our rig drops dramatically under that condition.
