I installed the TCI four link in my garage by myself with very little issues and very happy with the results. At first I was wondering/concerned about the diagonal pan hard bar but after driving it have changed my opinion that it works fine. The ride is better than stock and I have not played with the shock adjustment yet and don’t know if I have to. They put a lot of thought and engineering into the kit and the welding is amazing. If you question your welding ability at all the bolt in kit is the way to go.

Is the TCI kit perhaps available with weld-on brackets for the axle? Maybe I should stop being lazy and look it up for myself, lol.

While not a coil over system...Another option for the rear is CPP's kit. It's basically similar to the 67-72 truck arm set-up. If I recall, it's quite a bit less than all the other 4 link systems and I know a few locals that have it and praise its ride and performance.

It appears to box the frame for the C-Notch. That's good stuff!
