Tbar crank out of threads

So I decided to crank my bars to level my truck. I needed an inch, and that is exactly what I got before running out of threads. I turned each bolt 3 full turns to get an inch of lift.

I need some opinions or guidance.

I am going to put 33's on. I want to lift a bit, but a 3" BL really isn't necessary for 33's.

I would have liked to gain two inches on the T bars, with a 1 inch rear block. I think that would be a good look.

So, do you suppose my truck was already a bit high from the factory, or is there still room on my CV's for another inch? Longer bolts, or aftermarket keys? How much CV angle is too much? Any measurement, or just how it looks?

Can you take some pictures of your angles the way they are now?

Do you need the tire off? I'll try to to get as best I can, but I don't have time to remove the tire right now.

Nah you should be able to just sneak the camera up under there and get a clear shot of both cv angles

Yeah, I actually got better pics than I thought I would. Are they big enough? I can't figure out how to make them big.

To me, the angles don't look bad at all, but I would like an expert opinion.
