Awesome! Thanks! What is the part number of those coil overs? Or what would work? I was looking at qa1 and ridetech.

What you're going to have to do is measure your current ride hight from the shock tower to the LCA shock mount and find an applicable length shock to use.
On RideTech's site they have a stroke length (overall travel) with the compressed and extended lengths - ideally you want to be in the middle of those two with a slightly positive bias (so you don't bottom out).
In my case I'm running the Stud mount 6.3" stroke shock with a compressed/extended length of 12.63"/18.93" and my ride hight is about 15.5" iirc.
If you want to use a bearing mount with an adapter, this will change your measurements so keep that in mind too.

I have a lot more weight to control but for reference, I'm on a DS-301 with a 1300# 6" Eibach Spring. It feels perfect.

I see that Atomic. More and more I think about cutting the shock towers and welding in some universals higher up on or from the frame rail to get a longer shock.
