Help with a "built" long block project for my '88 BII.

I'm not touching the suspension at this point, everything has been completely replaced already.

I really don't consider a freshened motor that's mildly warmed over and likely putting 150+/- HP to the wheels to be game changing to the point the suspension needs to be modified; if that was the case then it was on the ragged edge to begin with.

New front/rear shocks, coil/leaf springs, EVERY bushing replaced, new body lift/mounts and hardware and an admittedly ridiculous dual steering stabilizer.

HARD nope on anything beyond what I have planned for the motor. I have an obscene amount of money in this to begin with (with me doing the vast majority of the labor/work) and it's far from the only vehicle/hobby that gets my (financial) attention and I'm fortunate at this point my wife hasn't murdered me...

But the good news is that after the motor you will essentially have a brand new truck at this point which should be good for a solid 10 years or more, that’s worth the expense in my opinion.

That's a HUGE 10-4!

@Peter Griffin
I ALWAYS do suspension 1st. I feel, depending on how many of the "freshening up" changes you employ or choose, your suspension will quickly turn your world upsidedown.
