Here's a out of the box idea. Do you really need to lift both fronts? I nearly always "crab" my GT40 over speed bumps. I lead the bump with either the L or the R front. This really gives the front of the car quite a lot of effective height as the tire that approches the bump first does so from the center of the car out, with the tires turned towards the bump and the low body point following. By the time the bodywork reaches the bump the tire has begun to climb the hill and raise the car. It nearly always seams to be enough. I have about 4" of RH in the front of my GTD.

There may be something very simple to build using this concept that might work. Only one side to deal with.

Oh well..... thinking's free.
