You can go to autozone and get some spring spacers for like 15 bucks. That's what I did.

where do they rub? the spring lifts will work for height but if the tire is hitting the spring gaurd you may have to space the wheels out by the use of a spacer.

Oh thanks jarhead. Forgot to mention that part. Your gonna need adapters for the back wheels cause they hit that spring cup thingy or what alot of people do is bend the cup. Doesn't really do much harm as long as you don't bend it too bad and if you use the adapters the wheels will poke out alittle.

Where exactly is it scrubbing? You possibly could get smaller tires - but 22's already on a stock height Monte is pushing it. What year is your car?

you would need to get "spacers" at your local rim shop they raised my rear 1-2inches well worth the 70$ my tires were getting torn up with only 2 people in the car
