This kit assembles perfectly, definitely well constructed and high quality. I modified the upper Coilover mount so my truck would sit lower since I have C notched it. Everything else just went together perfectly.

Everything fit pretty well. Hardest part was removing the stock cast iron spring brackets. Need a few modifications to fit my rear mounted aluminum fuel tank.

Do you have the brackets for 3.25 axles? I bought this kit and is for 3 inch axles? Or do I just modify the ones I got to fit?

It looks like TCI offers a rear sway bar kit for this 4-link. is that available separately? I bought the 4-link kit for my 1953 Ford F-100 and would like to install a sway bar at the same time I do the 4-link install.

I have a 56 F100 with under bed gas tank (mid fifty). One side of the tank is bolted to the shock cross member that would be removed and replaced. Can this be used in conjunction with this gas tank install?
