ok i heard somthin about movin the rears up front will lift it 3 more inches does anyone know if that ia true?

It depends on what condition your rear springs are in.  You can achieve 0" - 3" with stock rears up front.  What most people do is make a hybrid pack and interchange leaf springs from other spring packs.

i mixed in a few leaves from a newer s-10 and got about 4" of lift and they flex pretty well also
