I wouldnt crank them more then 1.75-2 inches, thats asking for trouble there. As for your question, you can do an add-a-leaf or some belltech 6400 shackles. I personally just bought some 2 inch ranger lowering shackles off of ebay for like 30 bucks and you flip them over, does the same thing as the belltech 6400 shackles just as well for about half the price. the shackles should run you 30-40 and an add-a-leaf should run you around that as well.

+1 on the shackles, as far as the t-bars, crank them bitches up till they stop. won't hurt a thing. I had mine that way till I got new keys. now there cranked enough to keep the bolt in.

My credo
"220, 221, whatever it takes."
If you max out the torsion bars then the suspension has no downtravel. This is not a good thing.
