Glad to hear you got the problem solved John. I got tired just hearing you list the parts you had to remove to fix it!
At 71 years myself I can relate to slowing down a little out of necessity. I'm not half the man I used to be....and maybe never was.
Last week I decided to fix my fuel sender issue, so dropped the tank only to find the sender actually is located handily on the lower side of the Mustang tank I am using. Older but no wiser.
Tom, are you referring to the truck or you when you mentioned 'sagging rear end' ??
Ha, more like vanishing, pants have no support anymore.
When I first installed the 2001 Explorer rear, I had the stabilizer bolted to the frame, which twisted the frame slightly, causing the backend to be "cocked". Unbolted it and it cured the problem.
