FWIW the Rear has a No Limit shock relocation kit. And here’s a few snaps of the front driver side suspension.
1st.... Are you happy w/how it currently rides/drives?
2nd... There are multiple shock options that are of good quality. Since you have Hotchkis springs, I would see if they have a shock that is possibly already matched for the spring rate.

Beyond that from your original question, just checking things over for loose or worn items.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
