    I have a '51 AD with the TCI MII kit installed. Mine came with springs that I believe are 350#. If yours ends up similar to mine it's 3140lbs with 55% front and 45% rear. I did however move my fuel tank from behind the seat to behind the rear axle. I did not need to cut my springs, lower a's are parallel to the ground. 300's would probably give a better ride, the 350's do feel stiff. If you do cut the springs it will raise the rate.
