Ed,
Just in case you were interested I got a price of $505.95 for the Posie's kit with the shocks included.

Thanks Tom...contacted them..the shipping is $63.84

Looks like their springs are 1-3/4" wide (same as stock) but have the Teflon buttons.  I have enough parts here, including the parts I got from you to almost put my own kit together.  It's only the proper springs holding me up...but as mentioned I'm still in the planning stage on this stage.

Looks like the 74-91 Ramcharger front springs are what has been used in the past. They are 48" long and bolted together right in the middle at the 24" mark, 2-1/2" wide, arch 1-3/8" with 3 leaves.

Looking at the slider option vs the standard shackle option I found the following guidelines on Speedway Motors.  What I learned was that mounting the forward eye(s) inboard may improve handling?

Here is a link..the second last paragraph discusses it:
