leveling kit pics please

Haven't posted in a long time, but recently aquired a 78 shortbed 4x4 i'm starting to restore. i'd like to run some leveling coils in the front like the ones JBG has since my coils have long since worn out and the truck is sagging really bad in the front. i searched the googles looking for pictures but couldn't find anything. if anyone is running them post up a couple pics, just trying to get a idea on what the truck is going to look like with the little 31" boggers i have. thanks again

I put Skyjacker leveling coils from JBG on my '78. I was hoping once I got them on, it wouldn't sit high in the front end. If so, I was thinking I'd have to put some 1-2" blocks in the rear. I was very pleased with the result and made no changes to the rear. Good luck!

Nice truck you have there, and we're not that far from each other. I'm just north of Ottumwa but working on a move to Pella.
