Cranking the t-bars a little isn't bad, mine are cranked 1 1/2 and I didn't notice any difference in ride, the problems come when the CV angle gets too large and you start chewing up your CVs.
I did basicly what he did, I cranked the front about 1 1/2 inches and 3 inch longer than stock shackles on the rear for about 1 1/2 inch lift in the rear.
I removed my inner plastic fenders and pounded the seam down. I only have tire rub at full compression/full turn with 10.5 X 33 BFG MTs. Looks good too!

did you replace the bumpstops? if so where did you get them?
I say get a set of ball joint spacers. www.trdparts4u.com carries them. They are 1 5/8". You can also buy low profile bump stops at places like Pep Boys, Advanced Auto, etc. I recomend to get the "ultra low profile" stops from Downey off-road because they are the thinest.
Depending on the condition of the rear springs, the addition of 2-3" longer shackles should be all that's needed.
After this and longer shocks on the front and rear. Then the torsion bars can be adjusted up and/or the addition of a rear add a leaf.
With such a setup you can clear 33's and gain wheel travel without spending much time and money.
