You are probably doing a different style of tubbin then I did, but with the stock frame rails on my LUV I did hot have the travel for the 9 inch and ladder bar set up. I had to go with a set of frame rails from summit. If you have not checked into the clearance issue, please do before you end up doing it twice. You may not need after market rails, but learn from my mistake and check. Go to the photo album area and click on Karl Ott's 74. In pic 18 you will see the stock frame set up. My problem was I had the ladder bars hitting the rails. I guess if I was running leaf springs it would have been ok.

I find it easyer to weld another set of rear frame rails inside the stock frame and then cut the old ones out.And im going to use the stock leaf springs.

You should be fine on the clearance issue then.
