I would suggest that you have airbags installed in the rear with the optional pressure gage and inflate/deflate switch installed right on the dash along with the small electrically operated compressor installed in the engine compartment. This all comes as an optional kit for airbags.
With this arrangement, you would normally have just a small amount of pressure in the bags as indicated by the pressure gauge - say 10-20 lbs.. Whenever you want to exit/enter your driveway just hit the inflate switch and jump the pressure up to 80-90 lbs. This should instantly raise the rear of your coach two inches or more. Afterwards just hit the deflate switch to bring the airbag pressure back down to 10-20 lbs. or any other slightly higher pressure ... as required to keep the rear end of your RV level at all times.
Also, with separate air pressure controls in the dash for the right and left airbags in the rear, you can even level your RV a bit at campsites by using different pressures in each rear airbag.
This is a relatively inexpensive way to add a lot of flexibility to your rig.
