I would say that the lower mount is no really built for a coil over. The offset creates too much leverage. We used to a make a coil over mount kit but it wasn't a great seller. There are some on the market, but make sure the lower mount is double sheer. And, you need a 5" stroke shock and about a 200 lb spring, or softer. Shorter shocks = stiffer springs = bad ride.
