True, Its just that when my truck got a little heavier it really needed some 40 weight. I just never got to try it out.

I have a 12lb truck and wanted to know if i should go with all 8 coilovers or 4 coilovers and 4 bypass?

My truck bottoms out with stock shocks and stiffer integy springs on small jumps....I'd say 1.5-2ft jumps

you can do with 4 shocks/4 coilovers. You might get the stiffest springset though. (the white/silver ones)

The standard 4 bypass/4 coilovers would work awesome. What I used on my Race-Maxx before (now in process of becoming a CF G2R). Anyways, the "stock" setup for those shocks is a little on the soft side for an E-Maxx. They are actually designed for a T-Maxx.

So, I would suggest picking up the "Firm" or "Extra Firm" springs and putting 50wt oil in the coilovers only, leave 30wt in the bypass.

The reason to this is that changing the oil in the bypass also affects the progressiveness, while only changing coilover affects the overall dampening. This is where the powerstrokes really shine, as you get to individually adjust specific damping parameters. This actually takes a little away from the Revo's suspension advantage. Note I did only say a little...the Revo suspension is still amazing.
