Robert,
I bought the Heidt's MII IFS kit for my 55 first series. I bought the
deluxe kit. I have never done one of these swaps before and everything went
in just as they said. All the parts were high quality and I would use them
again. I did opt for the 11" brake rotors, but the truck isn't on the road
yet, so I can't tell you how they work.
Good luck with your decesion.
