USA LIFTING an AE82- strut swap?

Hello everyone. Love the AE82's on this forum. I have a 87 corrolla 4 door w/ the 4ac, auto. got 95k miles. I've cleaned it up and its runs nice. Its my commuter car, and since I live in northern Vermont, its mostly winter driving. This is one of the best snow/ ice cars I've ever had. Good fwd and I have the super skinny 155 tires that are like ice skates. the only problem is that it doesnt have much ground clearance and since its so light, it has a tendency to hop itself up onto deep snow so the wheels are no longer touching the road. I realize this is not an 4wd (i have a jeep too) but even an extra inch or so would help a lot. The front struts are original and startingto get pretty sloppy. Is there any cartridge or spring that I could pop in there to give it a little more height? Or can the struts be adjusted or spaced somehow? Maybe there is a compatable swap from an awd toyota or something?
Looking for ideas!!!!
Thanks!
