I haven't used this kit, but all CPP stuff is top notch. Great quality. I wouldn't mind getting this kit myself.

Here is a link regarding rear suspension. Mothertruckers mentioned having a coil-over setup. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=134483

From the look of that picture it seems that you would have to use big spacer blocks to get a decent drop. That alone would stop me from buying it.
