What options are there for getting rid of the torsion bar suspension on the front of my '99 4x4 Ranger?

Some years back I bought a coilover conversion kit (basically just the mounts for the coils and shocks). However, those shocks seem to have gone up quite a bit in this economy.

After having installed the Superlift kit, those torsion hangers are low hanging for sure.

My mental wheels are chirping and skidding, thinking that the spots for the torsion hangers are located would possibly be good attachment points for a SAS down the road.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Check out @Mr. Bossley build thread.

The rack and pinion and front crossmember are sizeable obstacles.
