John, you've sure been using a lot of photo shop to make it look like your truck is back out on the trails!! haha 
It was a lot of fun to be out there. Someday mine will make it out there.

I got my parts today, but the weather sucked that I was not motivated to be out there in a cold raining condition.
Maybe tomorrow will be better and I can get this upgrade knocked out.

Some progress this weekend but not as much as I wanted to make.
Saturday was spent getting the new to me parts. Then today I got kind of a late start. Not a great day to be outside and working on the truck. It was raining on and off. Then while removing the rest of my parts I broke the passenger side torsion adjustment bolt.
That took me some time to remedy.
So all I got done today was removal of the front axle and torsion bars and lower A-arms. Oh and not to mention another problem I found. The rear drivers side mount for the front axle is broken off of the frame.
Some pics from the end of the day...

I'm just trying to catch up with you.
:An SAS would be great, but that's just way more money than I can spend right now. But, I came across a helluva deal on a used Superlift.

holy crap! I dont think anyone had pushed the IFS as far as you John, not on this forum! Of course having the long heavy sport trac I am sure helps!!
Does the superlift rely on the mount you broke? I am guessing it does! LOL
Its not going to fit under your car port LOL

Well the front axle relies on this mount to keep it from rotating under stress. I guess without that mount the front axle could experience axle wrap while driving. I hope to get the lift installed this week after work(leaving out he front axle and stuff) and drive it up to SVO's house to get the mount repaired.
I think Premier is trying to catch me in CV axle MDK(murder death kill) count. I think I might be at 6.

LOL I know the diff needs all its mounts, I am wondering with the Superlift brackets, do they rely on this mount? I mean the superlift kit drops your entire diff like 4", I assume the superlift mounts on the factory diff mounts? I have never looked closely at a drop bracket IFS kit
I was thinking if the superlift drop bracket doesnt use this bolt hole = EASY fix for you! instead of a repair just install lift!
