Forgot about the spring diameter! You have to used the 1.9" springs, the 2.25" won't fit. You will have to space the top mount out slightly and use spacers at the lower bush to centraliswe the damper in the trailing arm bracket.
I'm sure Koni/Bilstein would have what you want but at a price! The big advantage with the AVOs is that almost all of the damper body is threaded for spring seat adjustment (I have 6" of adjustment!) so when you are startign from an unknown you will be able to get to where you want with less experimentation with spring lengths/rates...

PS The only problem with the rear suspension I have is that I have an early pan converted to IRS so the shock towers are thicker and on really bad bumps the trailing arm can hit the tower. The plan is to pocket the trailing arms, I don't want to clearance the shock towers as I have heard of these braking if you do!
