Changing the rear to a 4 link?

Must be some guys out there that have done this. Anypics or know of a good kit to do it?
Plan on tubbing my box, adding a shortend 9 inch rear end and 4 linking it.

This will be going on a 1000+rwhp blown big block 92 chevy truck

I order this kit from CE... After running all the number it was the best deal for me. It only cost $587.00 to the door.
