Re: rear coilovers
Yep, you can't say it better than Parkwood already did. All I can add is that it would be best to know both the weight of the rear end of the truck and the weight of the axle, wheels and tires to figure out what the sprung weight was.

Re: rear coilovers
That is what I am starting with. For me having the shocks so I could do the fab work is worth it even if I swap springs later on. I figure it is better to start out a little too stiff than too soft.
