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 add that much rear spring you may run into the other problem - rear wheel spin when trying to apply power coming out of a corner.
I would try 250 lb rate first. |
