Question raiseing rear end

hey guys the rear of my car is a little lower than the front and it looks a little wierd. the car is lowered and i had new shocks put on the front and after that the front seemed a little higher not much but i can notice it.
if i wanted to raise the rear to even it out can i do the hose mod with the isolator to raise it?
how much will it raise it and what size hose do i need?
thanks

I used 5/8" fuel line for the hose mod (which I've since removed). I get an extra inch of height when I use the isolator.

The hose will not actually raise it much if at all. The hose is used when the isolator is removed as a sort of insulation only, not as a physical spacer.

Have you thought about stock springs with the heater hose mod?
