14" or 16" coilovers for my rear 4 link? and good spring rates? (dual rate)  83 toyota, flatbed with the usual gear and usually carry 2 10 gallon propane tanks. leaning towards Fox emulsion coilovers cuz Fox includes the dual rate hardware with their shocks.

the problem is if you mount them inside the frame rails like i did.  i get soo much down travel on one side, then other side has a lot of uptravel and the tire hits the frame pretty bad.  i had to put 2 inch spacers on the ifs housing and 2 1/2 inch BS wheels and the tires still hit the frame (39.5's).  I would say get 14's or mount the shocks farther out (cut the frame).  and i can't even get my 16 inch fox's to compress all the way because the tires hits the frame.  i have about an inch left.
