Replace the springs with non sagging ones.

Install a set of 4th gen rear spring isolators, that'll do it.

Replace the springs

Very cheap, very easy and quick.... takes longer to put the car up on stands than it does to actually change the springs

I'm sorry for my ignorance guys. I don't understand suspension stuff too well.

I was curious if they make any lifting springs like they do lowering springs.

Also do I need a spring compressor to do the job?

Where do I jack?

I can't find stock springs in Jegs or Summit they are all lowering.

What do you suggest I do to find some new springs?

Thank you guys.

If you guys are fed up with my stupid questions tell me

You don't need "lifting" springs. You just need new ones.

Go to your local parts store, and buy a set of stock replacement ones. The Moog or TRW part # is CC635. They're less than $50. Here ya go. http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...ype=60&ptset=A

{edit} The page says "front", it's wrong.
