Re: 5 lug rear-end swap

The Guys at ECE told me that their rear end conversion kit or deluxe track bar kit was for use only with lowered vehicles (ones that had been lowered 4 inches or more).
Apparently the geometry would change and the panhard bar in the kit is only meant or designed for lowered vehicles. I thought I would use this kit with a 1991 10 bolt I have (3.08 gears) and then I would be able to keep the rear end centered using their panhard bar from this kit that bolts to the passenger side rear trailing arm ( as the 1991 10 bolt does not have the stud on the top of the pumpkin for the stock panhard bar.).
So.......................i'm F - - - E D as of now because I don't know if I should buy the kit and do the swap or not based on what they told me.
