So is there any secret to Installing this kit in a B-Body maybe some one has some ideas that work better just asking so when i do mine.
 
Personally, I love the kit made by US Car Tool. I like the idea of the additional support that mounts to the stock spring hanger. They have good instructions, I've never installed a kit, but purchased mine from them. I'll be doing a whole minitub and rear floor replacement first. US Car Tool also has a nice minitub kit, they're working on the early kits from what I've been told.

I have a 3/4 inch move in on my car using A body front spring boxes and 3/4 inch offset rear spring hangers. No wheel tubs and a a 10 inch Hoosier slick on an 8 inch rear rim. No cutting.
Not sure if that's what your looking for though...

Got my kit from US Cartools as well . . . didn't like the way that they moved the mounting location fro the rear bushings. Talked to Chris at US Cartools and we worked out a new way to mount the rears and keep them in the same location - Chris was incredible to work with - drove up to Durham and he had already fabbed up a model of what we talked on the phone about . . . got them installed in my car and it's all documented in my build thread . . .

PM me if you'd like to discuss . . . I'll look for the posts in my build thread too . . .
