Default 4 link Silverado

Hey guys, looking for advice or ideas on putting a 4 link coil over setup under a 2009 2wd Silverado. Truck will be a turboed 6.0 LY6, 4L80E, spinning a 9” rear. Hopefully put 800+ to the tires. I haven’t found anyone who makes a direct kit for this. I’m sure the guys that are going to install it can work miracles but I’m looking to get them the closest thing to a drop in kit that I can. Anyone with any experience with these or with the 09 Silvy?

Might get better responses on a truck site but I know a few members here have trucks so I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction. I'd look into the companies that do air bag systems and see what they use for a rear suspension, I bet a system like that could be easily adapted into a static drop well handling/launching suspension. I'm not super familiar with who might be doing that with the GMT800 trucks, if it were an older truck, porterbuilt or nolimit fab would be who I'd look to.
