I don't know how bad you driveway is, but you can take it at angle. Lift is pricey ,and you will need the $ to put it into your new Car.

Apologies for the delay. Only been out in the car today.

Image taken in the down position in perfectly flat floor. Measurement taken from centre of lower sacrificial strip attached to front PU, to ground.

RUF lift down - 3 1/2 inches:



RUF lift up - 5 1/4 inches:



So 1 3/4 inches or 44.45mm.

unless u live in supercar paradise, i dont think u can live without a lift system in a cgt, mine is the older KW system, 3 other local buddys of mine have the same without much complaints. i heard there's an even better KW system that lets u adjust sports or comfort settings, I never seen one though.

u have to be careful with any lift system, make sure ur shop knows what they doing, because ride height and alignment affects it greatly, u might get front end shocks rubbing with ur carbon chassis like one of ours did if u adjust the alignment in a way that affects the lift system.
i dont know anything technical about it but i can atest that during moutain driving the right rear oil reservoir might leak but its normal says my shop. its doesnt leak a whole lot but u get a nice film in back of the rear wheels, dont ask me how i know.
i still recommend ANY lift system on this car, one cant possibly drive out of ANY underground parking garage without it.

here's some pics of mine :
