Welcome Kirk

"first it needs to be raised abit to pass r.w.c, is this expensive?"
No -- ish. Depends
If it is just the front then it "should" be a matter of undoing and turning some adjusters. Hopefully it wasnt welded.
If it is really low the rear needs to be "turned up a few splines" an the torsion bars. Not major - but not a job for a novice with tools.

As for wheels click on
