Ed,
I highly recommend the Renner USA Underlever Kit.  You might be able to improve
on what's there by following the procedure outlined in the Journal a few 
months ago.

Renner might have individual underlevers available. I have a bunch of 
extras from installing
many of the kits if you need them, although I'm saving up to get a 'free' 
setup from all to
installs :-)
