High Mount A/C options

I am looking into options for high mount A/C brackets for a 5.3 / 4.8 swap into My 1968 Suburban I found this kit and wondered what some of the more experienced ls swap guys think of it ?

Allen Grove makes a very good bracket set up that comes complete with belt and tensioner.

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I took a look at this one again and it is KWIK. My apologies.

The Holley brackets look better and they are a quality product.

I think the Holley is the best designed from the looks of it.
