Default Help, Back Half Weight?

Can anyone throw me a reasonable number for the weight of the back half of my stock 95Zm6. I just bought a 9 inch and i'm going to cut it, weld ladder bars and a diagonal link, and do a QA1 coil over kit. I need an approximate weight that I can work with for the spring rate. I've never weighed the car, but I'm going to try to use the stock fuel cell(maybe), and a rear seat delete with an 8 point cage. My fab skills are there but I need some numbers.

What springs are best, lend me some insight on your setup. Thanks

spring rate will depend on mounting location and geometry. I can get you into Strange coil overs for the same or less and you won't have to worry about rebuilding them in a year... give me a call.
