To start off you could just use longer rod ends (which is the term Traxxas uses) on the ends of your shocks. Here is a link to the Traxxas website for some examples...
https://traxxas.com/products/search?keyword=rod+ends
Basically you would remove the existing rod ends at the bottom of your stock Traxxas shock, replace them with a longer end, and then you should have extra ride height.
------------
A more accurate way to determine what you need is it remove your existing dampers/shocks. Extend the shaft as long as it can go and then measure the distance between the 2 eyelet holes/mounting points using a simple straight ruler. This should give you the shock/damper length. This should help you determine how much longer you might need.
There are many aftermarket companies like Yeah Racing that make various length shocks that will bolt right on to most 1/10 touring cars.

You can also take a look at Yeah Racing shocks set. They are available in 50mm, 55mm and 60mm. The quality is very good for the price, and they come with different pistons AND different springs!
