adjustable shocks

Can adjustable air shocks improve ride height...I'm trying to get it higher

Air shocks will raise the rear ride height. But that's not the best way to do it. If you need to raise the rear for tire clearance, you're relying on plastic lines to maintain pressure to keep from cutting the tires. Don't do it. It will also make the ride harsh and stress suspension parts.

A taller rear spring would be better, more realiable, and also cheaper than air shocks. Air shocks are meant for leveling the car when an added load is carried. Nothing more.

I'm trying to get it higher in the front

I just replaced my front springs last year with factory replacements. Was only around $100 for the set.

Do not run air shocks in the front. Never.

Anytime you raise or lower the ride height in the front, the front end will need realigned. And with air shocks, that would be on a daily basis.

Bad idea, even if there was room for an air shock inside the front coil springs, don't do it.
