How much HP can the "stock" suspension handle?

70' C10 Short frame step side.

Hey guys, just doing a little brain storming action about future plans and I am curious how much HP and TQ the truck handles with a relativity stock suspension set up.

Now stock was put in quotations because I have purchased a complete ECE rear drop kit as well as CPP drop spindles and springs and such. I have retained the stock cross members, trailing arms, A-arms and things of the manor.

Basic static 4.5/6 drop truck, with all the goodies up front and out back replaced, ball joints, tie rods, the whole nine yards.

I'm curious what kind of HP you guys are running with similar set ups and how the truck behaves.

Traction, Wheel hop, push / understeer, oversteer, powerslide.
