When I ran bone stock shows I used spring rubbers. Car will still bounce but will gain height. They are easy to install with a pair of porta power scissors. If you don't want to change springs or add something above the springs.

How would different springs gain more if its already really stiff. Im not understanding. How much height do you need? Are the upper control arms touching the frame with it sitting on the tires?

Pre bend the rear of the car and run a small tire on the rear usually taking the bump stops out and changing springs get the job done I always run 7.00/15 kerb kickers on the first runs. Now I have heard caddys guys putting on 80s Vic spindles and getting some additional height but never have tested this. I do plan on trying it on my next build. Not sure if it would have the same effect on your car.

Vic spindles add an inch. Taller tire good but when front bends up you got a bunch of tire in the wells. The best cheapest quickest is kicking the springs. Takes some skill tho
