I’m moving up from 225lb to 300lb springs in the rear to try and combat the rear rolling over and the large amount of front, inside wheel lift I’m getting. Is there a general rule of thumb for when I should seam weld the rear shock towers?

If you're getting that kind of weight transfer have you thought about stiffening the rear valve stack before going heavier spring rate?
I'm worried if you go heavier spring on that valving you're going to start to run in to tire bounce or funky snap oversteer. |
