Without seeing pics,...maybe you need to add a 1/2"- 1' spacer on the front coils springs ( to raise up the front 1/2 - 1" and add 1" spacer on the rear coils.. you would still have 3" drop in front and 4" drop in the rear,..
cheaper than wheels & tires....
Plus figure in the weight of the driver & passenger, losing 1" is nothing in the long run, plus it should make the ride easier on the back if you know what I mean..
just offering help.,,
