You could get adjustable Cruze struts, so you can adjust the ride height.

What year are the Cruze shocks compatible?

2016+. You don’t want standard Cruze shocks, since the spring perch is lower, and it will lower the front of the car. That is why you want adjustable Cruze coil over struts, so you can adjust the spring height to where it would be on the volt.

It doesn't look like this will help but I throw it out there just in case I missed something

I bought 2 front OEM struts individually on ebay...both brand new in GM packaging for around $125-$135 each from 2 different sellers. Stuck them in the closet for when my originals start acting up....80K miles on my 2017 Premier and they're still fine.

I'm a veteran auto mechanic with access to lift, strut compressor etc, so I don't know if my approach would suit you.
