Nice build man 
What back spacing are you running on those wheels? I've been thinking about doing an outboard setup for the rear but only have a stock axle but have a 3.5'' bs. I know i would deffinatly be frenching the frame, but with such a heavy offset I think the clearance would be similar to most fullwidth setups i have seen/read up on.

I have some experience with coilovers but the biggest thing with being streetable is going to be your suspension design the ORIs are fairly new and I really could find much info on people running the on the street so I looked real hard at the specs and couldn't see why not so I built everything around them by pushing the mounts out as far as I could to help keep it stable without the use of swaybars. I've put almost 8000 miles on my setup and so far I'm super impressed with the ORIs I can speed around turns with less body roll than a old Chevy pickup and I feel certain that I wouldn't be able to do that with coilovers without swaybars on the street plus changing the hight and rates of the shocks are easy as filling a tire with air
