do a flip on the rears. put the axle above the leafs.
I had a two wheel drive S10 for parts so I could swap out the front suspension. The only problem was that they were nothing alike. The 4x4 has the torsion bar front suspension that is completely different. It wouldn't even come close to matching up. Like Corn said, I thought about cranking back the torsion bars to see if that would lower it. I've never done that before so any opinions / suggestions would be appreciated. I probably will do a flip on the rear springs.
