Default 93 coupe lift

i got a 93 beater blazer for 400 bucks and have just been running this thing into the ground out in the woods..its all stock and i dont wanna have to buy any lift for it..so im wondering if its possible to run the leaf springs across the top of the rear axel for more lift back there and maybe put some blocks in there with em,also wondering if the leafs off like a k2500 would fit there anybody know that?..and wondering how much a new t-bar would be and what the keys that come with kits actually do..thanks

So you did a spring over axle switch or did you use the springs off of a full size truck??

As far as the front goes, you are not going to match it with a t-bar crank or even replacing the t-bar with a stronger unit / using an index key. The most you can get without a quick death of the balljoints and cv shafts is 1.5" to 2" depending.
