Here are the parts. Complete suspension was included. New-looking brake pads and the caliper pins even move free. The ball joints have been replaced at some point so hopefully they aren't shot.
If the schedule doesn't fill up this week, I might get it in. Gotta modify the brake caliper brackets slightly but there will still be more meat than the stock 2000 parts.

Here's stock vs. modified caliper brackets. It really didn't take too much grinding and I have a minimum of 1/4" clearance to the wheel at any point.

Ready for studs and reassembly. Then install.
Next question: x code or v code springs. I have both but the rear already sits where I like it and I think the x codes might be too high. Have to see I guess.

If Ford didn't engineer such horrible IFS, I wouldn't have to fix it.

Had a spare day.
 The front track width is now identical to the rear (2012) without having to utilize aluminum spacers. It stops on a dime with the larger rotors and believe it or not, it rides TONS better than the coils....it doesn't hop and dive or jump around anymore. Oh, and the alignment stays constant now. I went with the 5,200 lbs. V-code springs in the front instead of the X-codes that are rated for 6,000 lbs. and tend to lift it another 1.5". I might find some Excursion springs and get it just a little lower in the front as it sits level now but I don't want to rely on the airbags to level it out with a little bit of weight.
