Default Removing superlift brakcet lift

I am thinking about removing a superlift bracket lift off of my 02 1500, i have had nothing but trouble with this lift and company, i cant get it aligned, i am maxed out on both camber and caster, and it pulls to the left, and my bottom bracket on the lift to my diff is broke and all i do is drive on a washboard road for maybe a 1/2 mile to my house which could be welded but i feel like if its thats gonna brake whats next, I had to cut a bracket for the front diff to clear, i am wondering if anybody knows of a place that makes a bracket for this type off issue if not ill just take it to the fab shop down the road which is probably what ill end up doing
thanks guys!

Im a little lost here , are you looking to keep the lift and fix your problems or are you looking to go back to stock? how much lift is it? can you post a pic of what is breaking ? if you are gonna go back to stock it would probably be easy to find another front diff I know I have a couple laying around. oh and one more thing do you have stock or aftermarket alignment plates on upper control arms?

To go back to stock, and the broke bracket is not really that big of a deal i can just weld it but it makes me wonder what else is gonna break from everyday driving(might sound stupid), and yes to the factory caster and camber cams, and the bracket isnt cut off of the diff itself its a bracket off the frame that was originally for the rear mount to the front diff, sorry for not being clear

I asked because on most lift kits you have to cut off the top ear on front diff . Do you think its repairable enough to throw on something that's used a couple times a month?
