Effective Modification Options:

Rubber Spacers: Adding rubber spacers to the suspension system can slightly increase the height of the car without compromising the comfort too much. However, it may not be the most durable solution.
Coil Spring Boosters: These can slightly raise the cars height and improve its ability to handle additional weight, but they may alter the ride quality slightly.
Aftermarket Suspension Kits: Upgrading to a heavy-duty suspension kit with adjustable ride height can improve ground clearance. Many owners opt for adjustable coilovers that allow for ride height changes based on load and road conditions.

Risks of Suspension Modifications:

Ride Comfort: While modifying suspension systems can increase clearance, it may make the ride stiffer, which could reduce comfort.
Handling Issues: In some cases, increasing the clearance may change the cars handling, particularly in terms of cornering and stability, due to the altered center of gravity.
