Question How do I raise the rear height?

Is there an easy fix to RAISE the rear height about an 1"?

Right now, due to a horrible crown in the road, I am usually striking my trailer hitch when I back out of my driveway.
- However, if I back out really slowly I can usually avoid the scrape. But, I usually forget since I am typically in a hurry to get somewhere.

Thank you.

Bigger tires would help. Nothing goes higher than stock springs I believe.

Of course, assuming I can get my fenders rolled in the relatively near future, I'm going to go lower, and probably buy a set of in-coil bags for 'just in case' ride height adjustment.

The lift bags above are one solution, another is to replace your curt hitch with a hidden hitch, the vertical receiver style doesn't hang as far down so it is less likely to scrape.
