Here are the weight stats...
Thanks guys! Here are the weigh in totals...
LF-286.9 RF-291.5
LR-361.5 RR-360.6 Grand total---------1,301!

Now with me and my wife in the car

LF-373.1 RF-359.8
LR-445.9 RR-439.2 Total with 2 people----1,618

This is everyting but some headlights, tail lights, small wiring items, seat covers, and body panels. It had 3 gallons out of 8 total gallons capacity.

Now to figure spring rates...
Each trailing arm/tire/wheel weighs 100 lbs

Each of the front corners weigh 80 lbs.

SO, with 2 people the un-sprung weight is LR @ 345.9, RR @ 339.2
the LF @283.1, and the RF @ 279.8

Don't figure springs till you are 100% done and all the little things are in place,full of gas and with both of you in it. Do it now and you're almost guaranteed it be too lightly sprung.

Very true..Now being the Fox air/coil over, and little weight differences can be made up with a couple lbs of nitrogen right?

My bad,didn't think about you using c/o airs.  In that case I'd say your were correct. I'm thinking I'd like to run them myself for being adjustable.

I did the FOA calculator, and for the fronts, I need a 14"main coil @ 185, and a tender 10"@ 125.  The rear came up with a 16"@ 225, and a 12"@ 150.  What I prolly will do is round down, and add nitrogen as needed..makes sence to me anyway..  What do ya think?

Makes sense to me. I need to stiffen up my suspension on my shotty. Let me see what I'm running. New Blue Springs at the dunes 1 time only. Perfect condition.. I/we might be able to help each other out.

I could have gotten you slip joint axles for about the same price. How much plunge you have?

I think its about 1.5" from full droop to the axles being straight across..stub to gearbox.  Iwould have to check to be exact.

I have 20" right now...I could adjust where the lower shock mount is to get more if the CV's will allow.  Once the axles are in, I will un hook the shock, and get the CVs to their limit, and back off the travel a little bit, and see where I am at.  I have 3" clearence @ full bump.
