What is your current lift made up of? You shouldn't put coil spacers on top of coil spacers ext. You will run into the fact that you need longer lower control arms.

Pick up a complete kit, if budget is an issue you can save a couple of bucks on a AAL kit.

Then to add to it you will need adjustable lower arms, adjustable track bar, pucks, and shacks for the rear.

If it were me I would buy some spacers, used lower arms, shacks, and a used good running motor. Then call it good. With how well these motors are built I would never spend the cash to re build one. Just buy one used and do a seal kit. Unless I wanted a stroker.
