I crawled under my truck to look at where the dif mounts up and all that stuff, and realized the drop kit might not work. There is a crosmember(?), (idk what to really call it) that is just under the differential. It doesnt look like the drop kit will fit w/o taking off this crossmember.

You are quite right. It will just point the rear of the diff down a bit, not helping the drive line angle any. It will only lower the inner part of the CV's down slightly. And yes, on a T100 it may interfere with the rear crossmember. I don't know why anybody would put one of those kits on this type of suspension.
The simple fix to limit the CV boot wear is to install manual hubs and unlock them when you aren't going to be needing 4wd. Even better would be to un-crank your torsion bars a bit.

Might want to get that boot fixed also. That will be the next thing to go.
