I did my own setup. If you're handy, you could probably save a few pennies using steel bars etc. Not sure what the after market kits go for?

If you check out my thread, 56' racecar themed F100, I have lots of pictures.
I used tubes that I bought because I got a really good deal. Easy and much cheaper to use steel and weld in slugs I think. Or even welding nuts to the ends of the tubes would be even cheaper.
I just started welding up everything behind the cab and I hit the welding gun on the ground to get the slag off it and broke it. Fixed it back up and ready to go again.
Here is the frame mount for the parallel 4 link. Just 2x2 tubing. Believe I used 1/8 wall.
Don't hit your welding gun on the ground to clear slag build up..
I had my work make these. Rear end bracket for parallel 4 link. I think you can get them online if you google it or worst case my work..

...ok, thanks again for all your guys recommendations. So for my '56 Truck I decided to go with the No Limit Fat Bar 4 link. I got a Ford 9 inch, the guy i bought it from said it came out of a Lincoln Versailes.

Don, go back to post #3 in this thread, he said it was bolt on. The only welding is the axle brackets.

Edit: for some reason my Photobucket isn't posting the correct image file.
I bought the same kit. Mine came with ridetech coilovers. I love it.
