Helpers vs. bigger Tbars?

You do not have to remove the bars to re-index them. Just pull the endcap on the carrier, rotate and re-assemble. Most people who delete them drop the whole carrier and rear suspension to prevent clearance issues.

I don't think this is entirely true. The splines are different at both ends of each t-bar, so you can adjust to some extent by just rotating the endcap at one end, but to do it properly you have to remove the t-bar at the inner spline also and use the adjustment at the inner end also. Using both adjustments gives you more choices (degrees of adjustment) and lets you set the bar exactly where you want it.

Hypothetically, if I just wanted to be "lower" in the t-bars, could I just rotate each end cap the same amount and come up with an even split? I don't need perfection, just lower.

FYI, each outer t-bar spline will give you 2.4in at the hub.

I think Paragon or Pelican has a nice set of coilovers with the solid spherical bearing ends.
The only reason to run "helper" springs in the back is laziness/cheapness/fear of t-bar removal. And yes, I run helper springs for all of those reasons. This Fall/Winter, I am going to have Dimi show me how to remove t-bars!!!!

I thought re-indexing required effectively removing the bars, and therefore deleting them was not harder. Indexing is a trial-and-error process as well and can take a few tries to get it right. Deleting is pretty hard to get wrong!
I'm definitely leaning toward deleting, and upgrading the coilover springs to 500 or 550.
