I could be incorrect though......

From what I noticed on the earlier set-ups,they put a cross member for the shackles up front that you can see below the bumper. It seems to compensate for the rise in the frame,which creates a lift,and they used blocks in the back to level it up. I'm not familiar with frame changes on Fords. But,you don't see that cross member on 78/79s which have the same body and bumper.
