Too low to pass inspection. What should I do to raise the ride height?

I can already raise the front because the shocks are adjustable. What do you recommend to raise the back? Air shocks? What brand?
Damn this car and curse the day I bought it.

Throw some stock springs under the back. Easier than changing shocks.

Thanks. Hopefully that would be enough. Someone mentioned they put air bags inside the springs on police cars that get overloaded in the back. Does anyone do anything like that with F-bodies?

Drag cars often use an air bag in the RH rear spring...

I've got air bags in both of my rear springs for at the track. If you inflate them all the way, you can get at least a 1/2" if not 1" out of them. I've never really measured, but when I deflate them when I about to go home from the track, I can watch the car go down. Can be had for around 70 bucks if my memory serves me right.

Thanks guys. I know I could have searched, but my patience is thin. This car has been about as bad as it possibly could have been, and it still needs work. He didn't give me a rejection sticker at the garage though, so I'm going to try to get it to pass somewhere else.
