1973 Volkswagen Beetle Two Wheel Drive Manual 30,000 miles

I own a "73 Beetle VW chassis with a Porsche 356 on it. I want to raise the rear 2" to 3" higher. Will adjustable gas rear shocks do the job or is there something else that you would suggest?

The shocks will do it but it will look weird going down the road with the back wheels turned in. To see what it wood look like jack up the rear end 3 inches

You can adjust the rear tortion bars. Does the car have independant rear suspention or swing axle?
