Yeah is absolutely possible. You could put a longer spring in, or even a spring with a stiffer rate would make the car sit up higher. That being said...I gotta think like the other guys. WHY!? If you're trying to put huge rims on it, its just going to look stupid. But seriously....if you wanna lift it to offroad it. PLEASE take pictures. So we can all point and laugh of course.

You prob could just swap over a 2wd CRV suspension. I doubt the suspension angles would be right but it would raise it.

How much lift? An inch or two-spacers above the shock mounts plus larger wheels with taller side walls?? Monster truck-custom springs and shocks to match the length plus custom wheels with mudders?

alright, you guys laugh, but today i lifted my stock 92 civic hatch 3/4 of an inch in order to fit bigger rims on. All i did was place a spacer between the top of the shock and the body of the car.

and that was stupid...the reason honda makes their cars that height is because of and of an engineering and handling issue truthfully u should never lower a car either but because of todays tech. and new suspension parts (lowering) should be ok (unless u just put springs in and dont change shocks/struts all around either)
