I made mine at home all out of J and U bend tubing (2.25" diameter).

Ed,
No kit.  I did a layout and fabricated it all from scratch.  The trick is to get the right bend radius to get over the rear axle and have the clearance you need.  I can go back and look at what worked for me to help you out.  I have rear leaf springs which gave me more room than a four link or triangulated four link would have.

Thanks Tom..don't worry about it right now.  I need to get my four post ceiling opened first...so I can actually work on the exhaust.

Pretty sure I bought a kit from Speedway or JEGS, had a bunch of U's and angles, you have to cut and weld them to fit your application. The kit came in various diameters.

I used one of the kits from Speedway when I built mine. I didn't need it all to do the job but like anything else I've used it all up on various projects over the years...Here's a link to take a look at.
