Not sure about the coil rates, but I love what you've done so far. What engine?

It needs the "4wd" emblem, or people might think it's 2wd.

Best way to prevent body roll is to install an Sway Bar, or anti roll bar..

The Cheaper way to help with body roll is to lower your dual rate stops.. Ive got mine about 1" above the slider.

Spring rates can be tricky, and there is alot of variables. and differing thoughts.. my FJ40 will be 225/150 front and 150/150 rear with 2" of preload

preload it's just part of the right height / ride adjusting process to me ...

This post kind of sums it up in simple to understand terms. And it lookslike you have plenty of room in front of your rear axle for a swaybar, if you try to address all your bodyroll with springs or valving then your not going to be getting the optimal performance out of your shocks

I will give these rules of thumb again. NONE of this is set in stone we will fudge it all from time to time but it is a good start.

lower spring 2" longer then shocl travel.
upper spring same as shock travel
try to keep the upper and lower springs within 100# of each other

2" to 3" of preload in the front.
2" of preload in the rear

your springs are too light if you have to use more preload to get ride height. and too heavy if you use less.
