Default Question about air ride suspension

Hey guys, Im looking at buying a new civic and it has air ride suspension on it.
The guy said the total ground clearance with the suspension all the way up is about 4 inches. Now the problem is I need more ground clearance then that, I dont know alot about air ride suspension but is there any way I would be be able to adjust the suspension so that when its all the way up I get about 7"-8" and then when its down i get 4" of ground clearance?

Thanks
Dan

No I dont want a truck/suv because I like it around 4", but where I live some of are roads are not in the best shape and also for the winter I would like to rise it up a bit.

and 7" is not that high my grand prix has 7" of ground clearance
