Increase ride height of 2005 RL

I want to make my 2005 more capable in deeper snow. Any suggestions on how to increase both the front and rear ride height? What is a reasonable amount to increase? 1in?

Probably the best and easiest way to make it more capable in deep snow is to put a set of new winter tires on it; not only will this course of action cost far-FAR less than increasing the ride height, it will also yield a much more capable car.

You'll upset the camber arcs.

Either trick air suspension or easie, an MDX.
