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?

This problem is similar to the issues JP and Britain had with the Sh!tbox.
As for the original question, there have been much back-and-forthing about benefits or necessity of welding & reinforcing shock towers. Try bigger springs for an AX or two. If they do what you want and stuff starts to tear, weld the towers. |
