i just saw the install on the webrodder page. that is the kit to have! BUT how low does that rear go. i saw the pic, but i want it layed. other than a possable pipe notch could it come with a shorter shockwave to get it ALL the way down. i wouldn' t want to mod the bracketry.

thanks

For a guy looking for a bolt on kit it is the best for that car. I like it much more than the Air Over Leaf. But if you don' t mind doing a little welding, a 4 link is still superior in ride quality and performance.

Just put lowering blocks in if you want to get it lower, the shorter shock won' t get as much travel.

YOU WERE TALKING ONCE ABOUT WELDING TO THE REAR ENDS AND ONE TYPE OF REAR END IT QWAS OK AND THE OTHER IT WASN' T. WHATS THE DEAL ON THAT AGAIN. IT HAS A STOCK REAREND IN IT NOW. HE MIGHT BUY A 9" FORD. GOODS AND BADS?

The newer GM corporate rear ends (like Camaro or 62-up pickup) have a cast center section which you can not weld to. Therefore, you must either switch to a 9" for the Triangulated or use a Parallel 4 link. In his case you will want to go with a 9" for increased strength and reliablilty.
