if your going to put the time and effort into a body lift id just go ahead and get a 3 inch suspension lift
for one its easier and two of its like any other 78 ford you are going to fight like hell to get all of your body bolts out you can get a suspension lift like that for pretty cheap and it looks alot better than that body lift you want

you would have to get the linkage extended (the part may come with kit)

the body lift isnt that bad to do you will have to extend the shifter rod how ever high your lift is. easy cut and weld, bottom of fan shroud may need trimed or drop the radiator down a bit , e brake cable unbolt one body strap for room and check steering shaft for the slip shaft in to move toher then brake all the bolts loose not bad you may want to soak them with pb blaster for a week or so before you attempt it hope this helps a bit
