lifting a 90 van

My van needs raised 1 or 2 inchesmax in the front so my 295x16 will clear all the time once i leave the pavement. I could cut the front fenders, remove or extend the front bumper as suggested here a few months ago ,but first i want to explore other options
1-Re arch front leafs.
2,add new front springs
3. have fabricated a mounting platform for airbags in front like the ones I have on the rears. without trying to find the paperwork Im guessing thy are "air-rides by firestone? Ill have a look tomorrow and correct if needed..

anyone knowledegable on these approaches
