Springs determine the height of your ride, not shocks. If you want to raise your ride, you will have to replace the sport springs with standard. Then you will want to put in sway bars to minimize the roll you will get. If you want to decrease nose dive when stopping, get some adjustable Konis.

I hate to say it but I don't think any of these will. Maybe some height increasing springs? You might call IPD and ask them about their over-load springs for the wagon. Don't know if they will fit but if they do, I think they are longer.
