So wouldn't the tranny be tilted slightly? Is that a good thing? I see how it would help driveline angles.

If that were possible, it would help the rear plenty, but wouldn't it mess up the front angle a bit? Because the tcase would be angled slightly up, causing a crimping action in the front driveshaft similar to what happened in the rear....right?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that for proper driveshaft U-joint alignment the T-case output shaft and rear pinion centerlines should be parallel. Wouldn't the 1" engine lift screw this up? Although, a pinion wedge in the rear spring pack would fix that.

Quite true, bikerjoe. You would need to lift the trans too.
