Suspension for some serious HP
Well good news is I will be able to get a turbo sooner than I thought so I need to start getting my suspension/chassis up to par on my 85 SWB. I am going with a Borg Warner ST80 modified by Forced Inductions that should give me anywhere from 650-800 rwhp depending on tune and how much boost I run. I want it to hook so I plan to get a cage installed, trailing arm rear suspension(easier than 4-link) with coil overs and I am not sure what to do up front. Can I stay with stock suspension, just beefed up? Truck should weigh in around 3600-3800 depending on what I move around or take off. I will still drive it on the street so it needs to be up to that. If you have coil-overs in the rear, did you fab that up yourself? Does anyone have pics or a write-up? What about sway bars?
