Marlin's kit kicks ass. Sure you have to grind a bit, but it's worth it. If you're not welding and grinding your rig, you're not really working on it... 
Enjoy!
i agree..i helped my buddy put the marlin kit on his truck and it was cake walk...just had to snip the front of the guset on the top bracket with the plasma....weld them on.....done
......depends on the year of the axel housig too i guess
