Lift w/ ball joint spacers and add-a-leaf

I had a thread a little while ago about lifting my truck, and some had mentioned that for my needs (hauling ass through the mojave, mostly) that a simple ball joint spacer and add-a-leaf would be better suited than a complete lift system, and more functional.

I believe him.

Anyone else have experience with this method? My truck is a 1992 v6 xtra cab, so if you have specific experience with those, even better.

Would I have enough clearance for 32x11.50's? I'm thinkin 33's are pushing it.

Pix on the web page below:

The truck in the article below runs essentially that set up (cranked up t-bars vs. spacers that were not available when the lift was done):
