Your axle tube is 3" in diameter, the spring pack is at least 1" thick, so you are raising the rear a minimum of 4". It will be very difficult to get the front end level, about 3" is the max for a torsion bar crank. If you have a a driveshaft carrier bearing the rear portion angle will be so steep that you will get shudder on take off. When you relocate the spring clamping plate to the top of the spring pack you have to lower the bottom shock attachment point or the shocks will bottom out before the axle snubber makes contact- the shock attachment point is 4" higher but the snubber contact point is only the spring pack thickness higher.

what if i removed a leaf spring or two? or just if i do lift the back just raise the torsion bars and use my "lift blocks as lowering ones and lower the rearend 1"?
