A kit?

Never even heard of it?

Find someone that knows how to weld, go to a shop that does custom/fabrication. Its really not that hard, but obviously you need a professional that had done tub jobs

Don't think there's a kit, but a plasma cutter and some pre-formed tubs in the hands of someone that know's what they're doing can do it for you. Only thing I'm worried about is the shocks. Seems like you wouldn't be able to go too wide before you have to move the shocks. Really no need to tub it though unless you're putting some serious power down. Plenty of guys going 9's with stock wheel housings with the right suspension setup. You can get enough tire under there with just a little massaging with a hammer and dolly.
