Default Tall Coilovers?

I'm trying to figure out if a coilover setup is right for me - it seems like most of the setups drop the car at least 30 mm over the stock ride height. I'm curious if there are any setups that can raise the stock ride height? I'd like to try some off road / snow racing and I know I'll need skid plates, but I like imaging how well I could setup the car for bad roads and dirt roads if I had more suspension travel.

Does anyone know if there are coilovers available for the LS430 that could increase the ride height?

Edit - also I've seen some websites reference a 'rough road' suspension package for LS430s, it looks like it's most common in continental Asia, does anyone have experience with that configuration?

I have RS-R Sports-i that I'm about to put on. They don't lower the car as much as the others and the springs are much longer than the others, allowing for more suspension travel. Certainly not going to raise the car, though, haha.
