You'd have to re-bush the bottom of the strut, but you could use an AWD strut for the rear, raising the height by about 3 inches.
Ok to not use bushing on bottom of Strut?

Dose only apply to the back or dose the front ones change the height as well?

Have you considered a spacer plate between the shock and shock tower?
I have looked into pretty pricey to pull the struts and then take them to the machine shop and have them make 30mm spacers then get new bolts for the strut.

Was also looking at the coil over sleeves but I have no idea about those.

I’m also building a 1g for the Gambler. Are you going to be at SIG this year? Also any update on this suspension lift? It’s difficult to find info on this, yet it has been done plenty of times.

Not sure what SIG is. but no luck with the lift just been sending it LOL. I had to redo the clutch cause it went out I have added custom bumpers and a tow bar and winch.
