easy lift

Any one have an easy cheap way to raise the rear end?

I keep scrapping the rear end on my drive way and I certainly would not mind a little more ground clearance when getting in and out next to the curb and going over speed bumps.

Rear springs? Unless rear struts on these include new springs.

Something new I saw in a Harbor Frieght Tools newspaper ad: Rear Two-Way Spring Lox Set
If you have a local store, you can go check it out in person.
Supposed to let you spread the spring coils out so it can ride higher.
No idea on how safe it is or lifespan of it, but might work for what you want to do.

1992 Camry 81,000 miles

I replaced the front struts and the rear struts are next on the list. I figured I would try to lift the rear a little while I have some of the suspension taken apart.
