I'll be at MORryde getting the IS and Disc Brake conversion next week. I like the idea of using 8k hardware with 7k rubber... I like the heavier construction of the 8k hardware but don't want the suspension to become harsh for no reason. I want it to absorb shock/motion as much as possible (without bottoming out). Installing an IS that has motion absorbing components that are designed and rated for a rig that's much heavier (than what it's designed for) would be a misapplication of the system. btw.... I'm a BSME...
