Question 1988 S10 Blazer 4x4 rear leaf spring move!

I have a 1988 S10 Blazer. I dont have a lot of money, and I want to move the rear leaf springs from underneath the axle, to on top of the axle. What would I need to complete this? And cant I just adjust the torsion bars in the front to make up for the lift in the back?

That will result in over 4" of lift in the rear. There is no chance of adjusting the t-bars that much up front.

ok, so what would be the best inexpensive way to lift the front to match that?

Do some searching and read up. This has been answered many times. I will say that for that much lift, inexpensive doesn't enter into the equation.
