weld my shocks?! why would i want to do that? dont see how that could do any good. sounds like that would make hitting bumps rough over just bouncy. if anything i was thinking of putting a mark on the struts rod where it meets the housing seal/rim, when the cars weight is resting on it then letting them fully extend and put a gash in it about 2 inches below the mark as far down as i can so that when i put it back on the car and it gets pushed back down the excess fluid will squirt out until it gets to the end of the gash then will be back sealed with the cars full weight on it.
