I'm adding a little beef to my little 94 splash 2wd. And I need some advice from the experts.

Stock splash suspension first off. Dropping a 550hp 347 I've built, mated up with a c4 (custom) and 8.8 (custom).

I'm installing overloader shocks in the read and James duff traction bars above the springs.

Do I need to beef up the suspension in this thing? Or am I good? Should I consider different springs in the front? Rear?

This will primarily be a drag truck, and a little cruising

Thanks in advance

Front will probably need something stiffer. its safe to say a 347 is gonna be heavier than what your taking out.

Rear. With the traction bars it will be fine. Now, that's not to say it will be good for the track, but it won't have any issue driving around.
