The end links do hang down kind of low but they are right next to the inside of the tire and as of yet they haven't hit anything.

Start looking for the pieces you need instead of trying to find a kit and I think you'll be able to piece something together pretty easily.
Yes sir.... I printed off the bar spec tables from Speedway Engineering over the weekend to get an idea of a possible solution. The info will def come in handy as far as determining bar size. I have also been trying to figure out the under/over of steering linkage. I know the 'end-link' length plays a part on the bars reaction rate as does the 'arm' lengths. There isn't as much info on these parts & how to factor their numbers into the calcs when trying to match things to your combo.

I am starting out w/750# 10" springs/5" stroke shocks on the Ridetech coil-overs (sbc/700r4 combo) but don't have true scaled weights as the truck is still in the build assembly process.
