Exclamation Lifting my corolla

I know theres a lot of people that want to lower there corollas and theres nothing wrong with that, But I was wondering is there any way I could lift my Corolla, with out having Caster problems? I know theres a lot of companys that make adjustable coilovers, can I use thoughs to lift it or are thoughs things only for lowering?

Any help would be great,
and the reason for the lift is because I like to do a lot of dirt trails and just go in the dirt with my corolla, so I need more ground clearance, but I dont want things to break so easy, I understand things will break becaus the car wasnt meant for this kinda driving but I want it to hold up, with stand, take a beating.

I hear ya man, ive done the same a few times, pretty fun stuff

As for coilovers i would imagine that would work, thats what i was hoping anyway, because i wanted to do the same when off road, and have it a hair lower than stock for on road. having 2 sets of rims/tires.

The matrix is higher off the ground than the corolla but it is the same platform. If you have a 03+ corolla you may be able to swap some parts off a matrix to get more ground clearance. Going with a taller tire is a simple way for any year, but it'll screw up your speedometer/odometer.

Spacer under the spring. Coilover should have +/- 4" adjustment but they're stiffer then lowering spring.
Usually a 2" drop don't require alignment, I'll guess same to 2" raise.
