Can’t say much for this particular kit, but back in 1990, I bought a 3/4 for my 79 Chev.
Was absolutely great on that truck, but I did have to modify the carrier bearing mount.
This was a 454/4spd truck and it actually rode and handled nicer. Also, 2mpg added when I got that truck out of the sky.
Drawback was towing and trailer loading.
I could load to capacity, but I had to keep a close eye on the rebound bumpers in the rear to keep from riding on the bumpers. I tried to keep at least an inch between the rear axle and bumpers so I could still have some suspension.
Still have that truck (retired and permanently parked) and to this day, has been the nicest riding vehicle I have ever owned.
