i have a 2003 S-10 ZR2, over time it has settled about 3 inches in the front and 2 in the rear, i just had my shocks replaced with the KYB monomax series. however my ride height has not changed, i want to raise it 4 inches in the front and 3 in the rear to make it level and add an addiditional inch, im also looking for a leveling kit that will keep this from happening again, how can i raise my height and where can i find a leveling kit? any and all help is much appreciated

You'll have to get the springs re-arched on the rear. You might even have a broken spring back there, but they'll find it when they re-arch them
On the front it's either coils or torsion bars.
If they're coils then you'll have to replace them.
If they're torsion bars you can crank them back up to the stock heigth.
You'll need to get a wheel alignment done

im positive my leaf springs are fine, it recently had a suspension checkover and nothing was wrong... i have torsion bars in the front, and i know i can crank them up a little, but wont that throw off my tire wear? i dont want the camber on my wheels to be that far off... what about a leveling kit that will lock the height in place and keep the front or back from sinking?

You can safely crank the torsion bars back up to stock height without causing any tire damage.
Your tires should actualll last longer then

if your suspension has dropped in the front and you havent had an alignment the camber is already negative. setting it back to factory height in the front will get it closer to where it should be but proper ride height all the way around is necessary to get everything where it should be.
