The inverted T setup is not the best. It allows tie rod roll at the joint where the drag link connects to the tie rod. If low enough consider Currie steering, or other aftermarket crossover style. Otherwise, WJ swap/high steer.

I find the reduced steering radius more annoying then then the tie rod roll. Its a beefy setup, I'm decently happy with it but it could be better. Oh and I have the ruffstuff kit, pretty much the same thing though.

Ruffstuff has a new part that may reduce the roll. Not sure how long it will last, but it may be worth trying it out if you are running inverted T.

I used one for several years and it works fine. I have since converted to full heim.

Search JCR OTK. The topic has been covered in 100 different threads.

I went straight to Ruff Stuff heim steering. Tabs for the drag link welded on top of the tie rod prevent any rolling.
