Sway-a-way Air shocks on cherokee???

[cj5_jeep]

Hey guys just looking to get your opinion on this. Today I'm picking up this cherokee from a guy on CL it comes complete without the suspension (it had a Rubicon express 4.5 short arm kit) So heres my idea. I have a pair of 14" race runner air shox nib just waiting to be put to good use. I plan on making my own links and long arm the front. My idea is to plate the uni-bod, build shock hoops, and tie it all together with an engine cage that will eventually tie into the internal cage. I know the rule of thumb is 1000# per corner and im sure its close and I guess that doesn't count un-sprung weight. Is this a good idea or shouls I just stick with coils?

I guess guess I'm just looking for some insight from someone who has run these shocks or know someone that has. I do all types of wheeling trail, snow, rock, sand. Ill have to post pic later pic not uploading. Oh yeah This cherokee is kinda a pile but is running full width 60/44.

Are your air shocks 2.0's or 2.5's?
