We make complete kits for the HO52 at www.blackbirdscustomtrucks
we have actually sold to several board members.

Your going to have your own choice as to what you want to do.
We are just an option..

Good luck.

I have a pretty complete thread about installing the Blackbird kit in the suspension section. It has alot of pictures etc. Do a search on threads with my name or just browse through the suspension section a page or two back. My truck also has the HO52
