I bought this for car for my son and its to low to the ground. Can some of you pros tell me what kind of suspension I can get to give the car more ground clearance!

You can try stiffer shock springs or try a larger set of shocks (something longer) but you are not going to get much more ground clearance. Another option is to get a larger diameter wheel (ie a Truggy conversion). Both are not inexpensive.

My question: Why do you want to get it higher off the ground. Buggies are supposed to be low to the ground, fast, offroaders. They are not intended for rock crawling or other larger terrain type running.
 
I'm tnot sure what the buggy is, but it doesn't look very adjustable which would allow you to raise it some. Looks like a 1/10 scale buggy. Most 1/8 scale buggies have all sorts of shock mounting positions to make them taller.

It keeps getting stuck on stuff and the chasis is getting bent up. This is running it on concrete and short grass.
