Re: Shock/coilover question
A "coil-over" shock is the actual suspension and shock "combined" into one unit. The small diameter spring is connected to the moving end of the shock. It provides more adjustability of ride height that way.
A "shock through coil" is a bigger spring and the entire shock slides up inside it.
S-10 trucks are like this. The shock has a stud style top mount, and a T-bar style lower. It slides up through the lower control arm, inside the coil, where-as the full sized trucks the shock is externally mounted.
It would make a big difference in how the mounts are constructed on the cross member.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
