Question:

My shocks are fine but I want to lift the whole car 4 inches ?

all around to get in and out easier. What should be done and is there any long term design effect that would hurt the car?

Answer:

basic price is 20 to take the old rubbor off and 20 to put the new tire on or its 10 to put it on and 10 to take it off cause i got mine done and it cost me 80 bucks for all 4 tires
If the hole isn't too big it can be plugged. You could change it out for about $12.00 if you have the tire.

If you're looking for a car you can get in and out of easier, I suggest you find one you're happy with, sell or trade your old car, and buy it. The minute you start modifying you change the center of gravity and the car is more prone to roll over. One answer is bigger tires, but then you have the problem of the speedometer and odometer being off. Engineers put a lot of time and effort into designing cars, and when we try to second guess them, sometimes the results are not good.
Damage is not likely, but the ride is going to suffer. When you lift the car like that, the center of gravity becomes higher, so when you corner, the car will roll to the outside much easier than it did before. There would also be aesthetic design issues. You're going to expose more of the wheel wells (area behind the wheels) which, unless they are nice and shiny black, will look fairly ugly. The car as a whole will just not look right (like putting huge 22 rims on a car designed for 17 rims, just looks wierd.) Understand, 4 is a lot to be lifting a car. If you find it too hard to get in and out of, that just means that it's not the right car for you.
