I've used the Chassis Engineering kit on my 51 Panel, too.
I've used their stuff for years... good outfit.
Just keep in mind the kit WILL lower the truck roughly 2-4 inches.
I, too did not want to drastically lower my truck, because I want a working truck not a hot rod. It all went in fine as per instructions. I also felt the conversion left the panel a bit under spring in the back. So, I'm going to add Air-Ride helpers for days
when I'm towing or hauling a load.
Hope this helps
