Does anyone know a way to lift the car from the 5.5-inch stock clearance to roughly 7.5-inch without using spacers? I can't seem to find any struts/springs that raise it and most people want to lower their cars. The only possible exception involves adjustable compressed air, which I don't understand. There already isn't a ton of down travel in the original struts so I'm not a huge fan of using spacers. I need to not high center after 4 inches of snowfall while in parking lots and some additional clearance for light off-road to get to trailheads for hiking. I'm not doing the lift for the looks.

As another possible (partial) solution is if a larger tire could fit on the standard rims? I'm wondering if I can get an extra half-inch changing from 225/50R/17 to 225/55R/17 tires (which would increase the ride height 1.1cm total).

The car is supposed to have 5.5 inches of clearance and mine appears to have 5.25 while parked. It still has the original suspension.

 

Put crosstour suspension under it?

 

I could see how using Crosstour parts might work. I'm not sure what matters in order to figure that out but here are some links to the parts for both my car and the 2011 Crosstour for those of you smarter than I.

Pretty sure there are issues with this accuracy though as the Crosstour's front and back items are listed as the same part number but have different pictures. Some of the mounting parts between the two areas are the same but not all of them. Not sure which parts matter in order to be compatible. If this worked, I'm not sure how I'd know the height difference until after installation (assuming that's possible).
