With too much weight they bottom out easy at that pressure. At 250psi they are fine with heavier loads though but not crazy stiff. I also didn't have to extend my bump stops because of the way I mounted them so I have more up travel than what you would have if you mount them in stock location. I would forsure go at 255/70 or even 360/80 if you want them a little stiffer or you have more weight in the rear (bumpers, spare tire, a bunch of tools, etc)

FINALLY!! Thanks for the input, I am building my own tube swingout tire carrier on an addicted Offroad tube rear bumper, 33x12.5 KM2, misc tools, 1st gen roll bar and cargo drawers so I am leaning towards 360/80. Also, I would like to run either OME 851's or 861's depending on how much weight I add up so, I don't think spitting a coil would be a problem I would encounter. Did you run the common frame mount, upper shock stud mount when you relocated? I've wanted to do this for a while in order to not have to struggle in a scenario where I'm reaching for that shock stud. I am also wanting to evenly distribute the weight on the shocks so a linear setup would be ideal.
