I've been looking around too and haven't been able to find one of these yet. I think what the other guys are saying about the '73-'87 kit is probably right. The hard part's going to be lifting the rear end if you've got coil springs. You could probably get coil springs custom made for the rear, which wouldn't be terribly expensive, or you might even be able to go to a long-travel coilover. Let me know if you figure it out, I'm picking up a '68 GMC 2wd and was thinking it might be fun to make a pre-runner style truck for the dunes (if I can do it cheap enough). Good Luck!!

I was just looking at Fabtech's site, their long travel 4" system uses tubular control arms, does anyone know if the control arms on a 73-87 will fit a 67-72?
