this is what I would do. any auto store shoud have the rubber blocks. they usually come in different sizes from 1/2" to 2". takes just couple minutes to put them in and take them out, so when you're not running the d/r's, you can go back to the lowered stance.

I used some of the truck/heavy duty steel blocks on my old New Edge and gave her 1/2 inch raise. They stayed on their for a good year and a half before it got totaled. Good luck with the block and post pics
