If your going to spend the time to tear it all down you better replace everything with new grade 8 bolts new bushings and junk! That way its not just a pretty face. Also you will have to have it blasted so I would go after its blasted and inspect it for cracks never know what might be hiding under that coating.

A quality powder coater woudl take it down to metal, whether through media blasting or whatever, and i would hope if theres a crack theyd notice that in the process..... As far as which way would be less expensive depends on what the powdercoater is going to charge and how much work they have to do to prep it.... May be less expensive to call superlift and see if you couldnt just order the repkacement brackets

I've got my torsion bars cranked up all the way too and I don't have issues with them contacting anything. When do they contact at full lock?

It came with longer sway bar end links, that with the closer to 7.5-8" of lift ive actually got werent long enough, i have seen stock vehicles that the sway bar was contacting the inner tie rods on bith sides, think it has more to do with the pitman and idler arms and alignment angles than the diff drop brackets, which to answer your question yes it does come with... I can almost drop my oil pan without pulling the rear crossmember or front diff out....
