Default rubbing issues

I havent had any problem on rubbing until last night. Im currently on springs and the car isnt that low (sportlines) Last night i was going to go in a steep driveway and my car got stuck. Is there anyone here who has encountered this problem? I didnt know what exactly to do becasue my car wouldnt move at all lol. My left rear was all high and my front couldnt move; I eventually put it in neutral and had to push it.
other encounters here?

I had Sportlines on my Z, never got stuck. Either you need to learn to go up driveways/curbs at a more perpendicular angle, or the driveway just too steep.

How do you explain that the car couldn't move forward or reverse with 300hp on tap, yet you could push it? I don't get it.

The VLSD doesn't help much for that type of stuff.
