Perfect. Looks like you have room at the front yoke to go 4 degree C-bushings. The double-cardan at the top is looking pretty steep right now, but I think with the lower suspension height you'll end up with, it'll be right in the sweet spot all the way around.
Normally I go with 7 degree bushings on just about anything. But without being able to pre-measure your caster angles before doing all the work, I say go with our default bushings because it's a '77 and by that year, "most" EB front axles were coming with higher caster readings.
This is just from years of reports of members here and on other forums where it seems many '76 and '77 owners are blessed with more caster than the rest of us. It's not a guarantee unfortunately, as we've see a few times. But in lieu of knowing for sure, stick with the most likely scenario and go with 4 degree bushings.
These should be the normal recommendation for any 2.5" lift anyway, but might be more than normal for a 1.5" lift.
I say if you decide to go with the 1.5" instead, stick with the 4 degree bushings anyway.
