I have fox air's with coil assist. I have been very happy with them. You have nitrogen, spring rates (2 springs per shock), slip ring (black slid between the springs, and valve you can adjust. Big plus with the airs is you can play with pressure to dial in once the springs are even semi close. Or riding conditions change. Adding pressure is a lot quicker than changing springs. My 2 cents. Have you thought about just running fox airs. Lot of bike powered cars don't use coils since they are a lot lighter. I had just airs on the front of my car for years. They worked great till I gained a lot of weight (me not the car). If you could I would run fox 2.5s and no coils. the 2.5s start with a 12 inch stroke. I was going to put them on my car but I had 10" shocks and could not make the 12's fit due to the 2.5 is 4 inches longer that the same stroke 2.0. +2 more cents at no extra charge.
. Most people say to not go past 2:1 on the leverage.
that makes sense. Another question is what angle degree do you prefer the shock to be at? I read the closest to 90 is better then anything but i cant find out why you would want that. I know this is a personal preference.
