There are several after-market insert kits that can be placed in the spring housings to lift the front end up to and inch.

If you are refering to jacking the car up there are specific jacking points on the frame just behind the wheel. You will notice a hole maybe 3/4" in diameter and your jack should have a stub sticking up from the center cup that fits in the hole.

Very carefully! Obviously you do not want to scratch up the rear fender. You should raise the rear end first a bit until the front end is close to the ground. Place jack stands under it. Then raise the front and use jack stands. Continue this way until you have enough clearance under the front end.

If your talking about raising the actual suspension then you will need to replace components. Either upgrade the front to a taller adjustable coil over setup. You might also want to install air springs so you can adjust the ride height on the go.
