Yes its not that hard, but you should try avoid using !important all the time.

$("#tabs").css("cssText", "height: 650px !important;");

Hope this helps :)

You should never need to do this. The !important flag indicates that the style should take precedence. With jQuery, you are applying the style inline to the element and therefore it already has the highest precedence.

Note that if you are using !important, you are probably doing something wrong. Consider restructuring your CSS selectors to ensure you don't need it.
