Default Air shocks?

I have a '00 Z28 and just installed some true duals and my clearance isn't too good. My cutouts are the main problem, as they are a few inches lower than my exhaust tubing. I was wondering if air shocks or something could possibly raise my car a little bit (maybe 2" at the most) and help give me the clearance I need. How much are they and where can I purchase them at? Would this be wise to do? Thanks.

my bro and i go air shocks and hotchkis springs installed in the rear of our 02 ss to help stiffen the car for our clearance problems, the ride is real stiff and can raise or lower it depending on street or strip driving. our slp headers still bottom out over bumps cause their so ridiculously low but is an an improvement over the stock bilstiens we had. I think we got our air shocks off of thunderracing.com

I just ordered this and the front set up for my car. Allows you to put the fender right on the tire w/out scuffing, or in you caes raise the car for clearance.....
