so i'm doing a 4 link on the rear of my xj. i have a long arm 4 link setup from a zj that i got for parts and will be using everything from that. i was going to weld coil buckets in, but i was thinking it might make more sense to go coilovers. i have not figured out the length i need for coilovers yet. i was thinking of trying to use the 4 bar link xls sheet to calculate the travel and go from there. for shock length, should i aim for what the travel is plus a little? or should i just go for the longest travel shock i can fit in case i decide to lift it higher in the future (sticking with 4-4.5" now).
obviously i'll have to weld in some new shock hoops to use the coilovers, so i guess i can compensate for the shock length fairly easily.
here's the shocks i was considering, mainly because of pricepoint so far. i didnt want to go super cheap, i want rebuildable and i want decent ride quality. kings or bilstiens are out of the question right now i think.

anyone have any opinions on these, and does anyone know of a better place to get them? preferably a naxja vendor? money is an object, but i'd prefer to support a company that supports us if i can.
