Hey Sam,
How did the TCI rear leaf kit work out for you? How far is the drop? Did you narrow your 9"? What is the width now? I am going with small tubs, too.

I am also using the TCI MII "type" IFS. Purchased it from Tim's Hot Rods in Washington state - great guy to deal with and everything comes direct from TCI. TCI was also good to deal with as they shipped the wrong trans crossmember and I when I called they shipped the new one out same day with return shipping labels for me to send the wrong one back. Just got the crossmember and spring hats installed this week.

Thanks,
Ed

 

I didn't measure the drop, but I expect that is it near the 4 in documented.

The 9in is from a 66 TBIRD and is 61 inches wide, so its normal.
I will be putting disc brakes on it instead of the humungous drums now.

for $100 buck for the 9in you can't got wrong really.

TCI stuff, yeh, really doesn't matter who you order thru, its the same stuff, shipped from the same warehouse, by the same people..
