bj spacers and a one inch torsion bar crank with 1 inch diff drop

im about to buy 1.5inch ball joint spacers. but i also want to crank the t bars about an inch with a diff drop. i just put in manual hubs the other day. would the truck be super hard to align? i was checking out some threads today and acedarian said this,

Yeah.
Putting the BJ spacers on pushes the LCA down, pulling the lower balljoint inwards (since the LCA / lower balljoint is already below horzontal). So you end up \ /.
Cranking the t-bars pushes the UCA down, pulling the upper balljoint inwards since the UCA is below horizontal (and moves the lower balljoint inwards too), but due to the BJ spacer, the upper BJ moves inwards at a faster rate than the lower and with only a little bit of crank, the upper joint moves inside of the lower joint causing / \.


so if i stick in the bj spacers and crank the t bars a bit, will the tires be more like this l l ?

Install the bj spacers and see how it sits. Then crank the tbars if you want and get an alignment at somewhere that has someone who has a clue what they are doing.

They should clear the upper control arm fine, but with the added width/backspacing over stock, you may need to do some fender trimming up front:
