Not to be rude here, but that's the entire idea with a TT. They will all lift the t-case to increase belly clearance, and as a result, elevate your drivelines. Depending on which style you to with will depend on how much clearance you get, how far up your driveline is raised and how much dimpling of the tub-or cutting-will be required to lift without the BL in place. You COULD install a MML with a bit of work to fit everything under the hood to retain angles and such with the TT, but would also require a good tub dimple underneath, or cut out and weld in a new tunnel under there to support it. All depends on how high up you want to go with it. Many of the TT's utilize new lower profile trans mounts so you're at a wash there.
If you don't want to raise the drivelines (keep in mind your lift is going to do this as well all in itself) with a TT, then you could just add a simple engine skid and bolt that on to your existing shovel. While you won't gain any more driveline clearance or belly clearance, you will have a full engine skid to help eliminate/reduce the chance of getting hung up on your shovel. Just another idea. I've seen this many times, and while they still get hung up due to low clearance, they're not "plowing" with the shovel anymore...
A BL/BMML is a very effective, very easy way to accomplish many things-from more clearance/ease of install for TT's, gas skids, etc. to slightly taller tire without the need for more suspension. I was totally against them at first, like you, but soon put on a JKS 1.25" BL. Don't even notice it's there and it's allowed fitment of many other items. It's a very cheap, very effective way of getting things done. If you take the time to paint rear fender area with some black rustoleum, raise your bumpers, etc., you won't even notice it's there. I have NOT painted my fender area or raised the front bumper but my rear is raised for more clearance. Doesn't bother me in the least.
Best of Luck,
Mike
