If you are using small batteries, Go to larger ones like group 31's...If you add 400 lbs to the rear you risk the quarters buckling...Safely chain bridge it if thats an option...What type of car??

Frame reinforcment will add alot of weight, a chain bridge will help greatly.........
or go to a tire shop, and buy all the used lead weights..... melt them down, pour it into your bumper.....

a chain bridge is going to be the easiest and least costly in the long run.....

14 " cylinders,coil over the back ,length the rearm top arms 1".cut the cross piece in back where the arms are mounted.cut meaning notch the cross piece so the arms can go all the way down(simulating the cylinders all the way out).reinforcement is needed but not neccessary right a way.cut the driveshaft a inch.(professinally done so they can also balance it).slowly lift car and notice if the extension of the cylinders is more than the suspension.(will the cylinders rip something out).if so length the upper arms more.but i believe that an inch is enough.we don't use chains but if you need them or feel them neccessary use them.
hope this helps
