Hey guys, I just recently sold my White 2003 Sport Trac 4x2 105k miles (pictured below) to buy a Black 2001 4X4 with leather, sunroof, and 50k miles. The main reason I did this is because I'm moving to Canada for work and I need something that can make it through those winters... 2 wheel drive will not cut it!

My goal in the next 4 weeks is to build one of the baddest Gen 1 Sport Tracs around and I need your help and input
Here are my plans and questions:
I'm wanting to lift this as much as possible to stuff 35"s under it. It's currently at my buddys body shop getting the bumpers/side skirts getting painted to match. This thing is going to be black on black on more black.
1. I'm ordering a PA 3" body lift kit tomorrow, but what suspension lift should I order? I know there are a few out there, but all I can find is Superlift. Any other recommendations?
2. Do I have to do the Torsion Twist and rear shackles to fit 35" tires?
3. I'm going to need some more power to turn those tires. I've got the intake ordered and I'm thinking about ordering a Livewire as well because I love the display! I'll fiberglass/smooth it into the A-pillar unless you guys have other options.
4. I'm reusing my old bull bar/custom brackets and a different roof rack that is going to hold my matching spare wheel and (4) 6" yellow off-road lights.
5. I'm ordering another rear drop hitch and I'll have to fab up some brackets to make it work with my body lift. The only reason I'm doing this is so I can add a set of rock tamers.
6. I kept my custom fiberglassed speakerbox for two 12"s under the rear seat so I'm set for stereo Pics to come of course !
7. I'm going 18x10" black wheels as well as a set of Bushwacker flares (still need to order this week and painted to match).
Basically I would appreciate any tips/suggestions on what to run here. I don't want to miss a thing and money really isn't an issue. Thanks again guys!!
