How high do you want to go? They only correct way to go is new leaf springs, the factory used 4-leaf springs on both sides, you can upgrade to 5-leaf springs from most suppliers, go to Eaton Detroit Springs website and check out their listings, they show the different spring rates for the stock, heavy duty and WS6 packages, plus a very HD set, I would call their tech line for assistance picking the right set for your car. Don't fall into the trap of thinking shocks will lift it, they are only designed to control the bounce not support the weight of the car. Also air shocks and shackles are trouble, they will cause wheel hop and poor handling, do it right once and you won't regret it.

A little help... 'cause we don't all have to learn the hard way!
