I don't remember the brand but I put one of those kits under a flatbed that I made from scratch on an old GM pickup for some folks I used to work for 30++ years ago.

It seemed to work okay for them but they just used it around their mountain resort to haul firewood, and trash to their own dump. I worked for them in the winter and that was one of my projects one year.
