Paul, I answered this question in your same topic post in the General Truck Talk forum.

FYI, posting the same topic in different forums can lead to confusion or lack of good responses. FWIW - your post above asks a little different question than your other post. Perhaps you can post in the other forum to clarify what you mean by a "54 kit". Providing source and part number info on what your "specialist" is not recommending would help answer your question better please and thanks.
