Spohn and, I believe, Ed Miller, have the 1LE kit.

I am using the 13" C4HD kit on the front of my '86, this upgrade is a no-brainer for the money. Ed is decent to deal with and his products are top notch. Many on this board will tell you the same thing.

I would keep trying. Unless you were a jerk to him for some reason I can not see him snubbing anyone. He is a decent guy and I am sure he appreciates the business, keep trying, I am confident he will help you out.
