Clutch Opinion wanted

I have a 1991 Ford F150, 302 V8, 4x4 5 speed manual, with lift & 38.5" Super Swampers.
I bought the truck a few months ago & it needs a new clutch. I have narrowed it down to the Hays Super Truck Clutch Kit, or the Luk Pro Gold Kit.
Any opinions on either & which one might be better; they cost almost the same.
Also, does the engine have to be dismounted & moved forward in order to reach the bell housing bolts? That seems a little extreme just to change out a clutch. Thanks for any feedback.

The opinion on the clutch I have nothing for ya sorry. As for replacing the clutch, you shouldn't have to move the engine from where it sits. You will probably need a long extension and a U-joint or if ya already have the "u-joint style sockets" you should be set comin' from the bottom on some bolts. But others you could be able to reach from up top in the engine compartment.
