Default adjustable rear ends?

Are there any decent adjustable/coilover rear end setups available for a 67' for around $700ish?

I have a 9" rear end and want to upgrade the leafs to coilovers or anything adjustable. Any good/decent priced kits out there?

These are from RC Motor sports, they cost a tad bit more than $700.....but it's nice not having shock towers anymore.

Only thing i can think of is a universal 4 bar or 4 link for that low of a price.The rc motorsports kit is 1,695 and i don't trust the size of the links.The uppers are too thin to me and a odd angle which would bind.For 700 i would try stiffer leafs traction bars and stiffer shocks that will help.

Thats what I was looking in to getting, but since my front was fully adjustable I was hoping to find a rear end kit that was adjustable too. Just didnt want to spend another $1,500 haha

Good traction bars and a watts link the rear end won't move around as much.

After tweeking it a bit, I love it. I went from leaf springs with Shelby bars to my new set up with traction loc and I've notice an amazing difference in rear traction. I love it, not to mention the front....being able to drive at 80 on the highway in a straight line is awesome.
