You simple take you OEm spindle out and replace them with those that are "lift" spindles. The keep your suspension and everything else the same and in the same place. The only diff is they have the hole for the wheel hub lower in the spindle. The "lowering" spindles are opposite and have the wheek hub higher on the spindle.

[EDIT] maybe this will help

When I was pricing rims, I looked on ebay and Craigslist first and then went to dealers and sites online. The best price I found for mine was a business listing on CL.
