Waaaay back in the 80's I tried some rubber spacers to lift the sagging back end of my Cougar XR7. The rubber split. These could be made from better materials.

You can make your own spacers from polyethylene cutting board and insert them above the spring. I used spacers like that for 3 years with good results.
