You might also try ebay, or market place on this site. Moog, for instance, can sit higher than what you would have gotten on 98. GM used all sorts of springs and spring rates through out the run. What's wrong with your current springs?

Rockauto's springs say that without the ws6 package. Lesjöfors springs had no mention that they would not. Maybe they would be right?

I have the original springs and shock absorbers and the old ones are tired. So new springs and shock absorbers should be updated. I don't want lowering springs. I'm driving on a bad road

Are the spring sagging? What is the ground to top of the wheel arch measurement, front and rear? Spring sagging being partly the cause of your ride quality issue is probably less likely then worn shocks.

I would replace the shocks with Bilstein shocks, and also replace the rear bump stops with the foam bump stops. Do not use polyurethane bump stops, or rubber.

Two of these bump stops
OEM GM Rear bumpstop

Bilstein Shock Set includes the front and rear shocks
