Can you get a few inches of lift out of using shocks that have springs on them? (AKA struts)

Coil over shocks are not (AKA Struts) yes you could add Coil overs and gain some height,I'm assuming you are working on a c10 it would be cheaper and easier to add spacers to your existing springs. Any circle track supply place will have them,I'd assume Jegs,Speedway and Summit also. Adding spacers spacer thickness x 2 is your approximate lift. Try searching random truck kid c1oh he lifted his C10 ,6 inches with springs and spindles.

Use 52inch rear springs off another truck in the front and a shackle flip in the rear. Should get you 3 or 4 inches.

Redneck engineering. Gotta love it. Please do not entertain a body lift.
