if you cranked the t-bars to level the truck and you cranked them to the point that your ride is harsh then you are up against the bumpstops. A simple replacemnt of the bumpstop with a mico thin one is all that is needed to regain a smooth ride. Also by cranking that much you may have gone past your shocks lenght range and were actually over extending the shocks...that will make the ride terrible. longer shocks and bump stops would have made the ride smooth again. Remember all a t-bar is is a rod that actss as aspring, so if it takes you a ton of cranks to level off the front end then for some reason your t-bars are worn out and are sagging. Mine took 3 turns to completely level, so have the other 5 or 6 h3's that I have leveled off for people. A lot of times t-bars come from the factory sagging, don't know if its the manufacturing process or whatever but I have see it often. If you have a front grill guard and or winch the t-bars will wear out alot quicker and will sag due to the added weight to the front end. You can easily replace the t-bars for much cheaper than buying a leveling kit and will raise the front end and give you a higher spring rating to boot.
