Default AWD Lifting (Not Lowering) the rear end (Dragging *** Thread)

Usually on here I see threads of people wanting to lower the front of the RC350 AWD to match the rear.
Here in the upper midwest with all of our snow the last thing I want to do is lower the car due to needing snow clearance.
Is there anyone who offers raising springs for the rear?
Has anyone ever done this?
I would love a (mild) Rally Car look on mine!! Plus stock it just looks like I have 500 Lbs in the trunk even when completely empty. I am so tired of dragging ***!

No Idea how to raise it, but what if you did something like the 911 guys and go all in? Raise both front and rear, some BFG tires, fender flares, maybe some extra off-road lights? You could be a trend starter on here.

If this came off as sarcastic it wasn't ....being serious.

I bet eibach could get you a set of rear springs that raise the car by an inch or two. There was a CL article about someone who rally raced their awd RC, I think its a cool idea:
