Can we use coil over shocks instead of t bars? Also would there be any advantages to that on a lifted truck?

Wouldn't they bolt into the shock mounts or are you saying I would have to make a new mount?

No they are very different in mounting. You will need custom control arms and mounts.

Clearance comes from bigger tires. ;) And besides, all the clearance you gain from ifs is useless with the rear solid axle.
