Coil spring spacers are cheap, like $150 for front and back together. They won't give you near as nice of a ride as new longer springs would, but it's an option.

You don't have to buy shocks specific to the 99 if you use the 99 coils. Whatever shocks you were going to replace yours with should work fine. You could get spacers just for the rear too. I'm not a big fan of spacers, but they are cheap. And like Buhundred said, "There's always body lifts".

Search around for different prices/brands. I know Daystar makes a 2.5" spacer lift (front and rear) for about $160. Not sure what just the rear alone would cost. I wouldn't expect more than 1-1.5" of lift out of the '99 coils.
