Those TIB front ends do not lift well and kits are expensive. Check some of the other threads here on lift kits. You can install spacers or heavier springs but that will throw the front end all out of alignment. They are set up to maintain a fixed ride height.

Actually the best thing to do would be to install a new set of stock coil springs. It is not unheard of or unlikely for those coils to sag 2" at the least and some times even 4"s(mostly seen on 4x4).
