If you're just adding a leaf in the rear you shouldn't need to crank the T-bars. When you do it it will look a little nose down, but you have to remember that the front fenders are cut higher than the rear. Also, the rear springs will settle a little as well.

As far as aftermarket torsion bars, Old man Emu makes some i think.
I've been considering getting them to help hold the extra weight that my bull bar and eventually my winch add to the front end.

about 1.5" of lift
You can get 2" topped out on the snubbers.
It will ride like a brick because it will have ZERO travel

After market bars are STIFFER.
(aka higher spring rate)
They do NOT Allow more lift.
They allow more weight on the front w/o sagging.

SAW makes some
Rancho does too
SAW used to make a two stage one.
There are 300M ones avail too - dont get those unless you know WHY one would want 300M torsions...

If you crank it up too much you'll need a kidney belt.. Downey makes some aswell.
