There are basically 3 ways. 1- coilover shocks,firmer ride,not much lift,extra stress on shock mounts but I've never cracked any. 2- front end beam adjusters,needs cutting and welding of beam,the more you lift the less wheel droop you have which is not ideal for off-road ride(same goes for back). 3- Weld some extensionplates on chassis to drop standard beam to whatever height you want 2-4inches ideal. Allows you to fit taller tyres for extra clearance with standard smooth ride. You can do steps 2&3 for maximum lift. This is a very basic guide but I help its a hope.:thumb
