Easy answer: yes. Get taller/stiffer springs, taller tires (might have to go to light truck tires), and then get everything realligned.

However, I have no idea where you'd get those springs from, nor how much that kind of lift will skew your supsension setups. I know that much drop wrecks havoc on scrub radius, I would assume that lifting would do the same.

I don't want Truck tires

I found something..

it inserts between coils and gives a little lift.

Correction - it stops the coils from compressing completely.

Yes, those will give you some lift, however, when you said "like a rally car" I figured you'd want a functional lift that had proper travel, etc. etc and act like a rally car, not just give you the looks of one. Those coil spacers will effectively stiffen the spring rates, which can potentially make the car unstable considering your new higher center of gravity. Stiffer suspension is also going to decrease grip.

Along the functional lift route, you could also go to custom coilovers - I forgot about those earlier.

Hope that helps! (unless you're trying to put dubs on a Camry... ugh)
