Like Larry said...you don't want much of a gap between your tires and fender..ever. But, if you feel the need to raise your car, first place a jack under your frame. Have a friend slowly raise your car while you watch your shock. If the car raises and the shock doesn't extend, you'll have to buy longer shocks and springs to raise the car. But, if it's not rubbing, low is best.
