    Most guys on here that do the back half routine gone to DBRODS and minis in the Austin area to have the conversion done.

    Most people dont buy the bolt in type of kit. They take it to a chassis builder and have it fabbed up.

    I looked at all three of those before i decided, they all seem to look just fine. but i can't comment on any of them as far as quality and function.
    but coming from those guys, i'm sure it's a nice kit.

    Chris Alston makes the KP components 6 link that I'm running and all the welds look great and all of the pieces fit perfectly. If I was going to do a back half that is def. who I would buy from. And they even have a write up on how to do it on a 88-98 pickup.

    I'm not buying a "bolt up kit" I'm doing a full weld in back halve! Besides me I've got a friend itching to help me do the cutting and welding. I help a friend do his back in the 90s but it was a modded frame and our own design that turned out beatifully.
