Looks good by the way.. I have the same thing.. Factory 2wd Jimmy.. I even have the original motor that needs to be rebuilt after 40 some odd years..
Yes, I realize that which is why I decided to use air shocks on the back, I can lift it a little for both looks and load control. Bags are fine but I'm not wanting to completely build this truck, just need a driver for the shop. Original drive train in mine, seems to run fine with 130000 miles
