Raising the ride height

I'm thinking about raising my car - 4 or 5 inches or so. Big beefy knobby BR Goodrich tires - I can take it offroading and such. I'll need a ladder to get out the thing when I'm done with it. And a trailer hitch to make it more functional. H*E*L*L yeah! Now we're talking. I'll be needing some o' them dual piston shocks so it can take the pounding. hmmmmm. Any opinions?

Yeah but that guy's is a C2 or he has serious differential slip if it's a C4. Mine a C4 and it'd be out in a heart beat - especially with knobby tires!
