I was told the Yellows off the shelf were good for up to 500-550, so that is what I'm running: 500F/550R. I am thinking of sending them out to be revalved for stiffer springs during perhaps July.

My experience mostly agrees with everything said above. I called Koni a couple years ago with the same (spring rate) question and the engineer I spoke with was hesitant to recommend anything higher than 450lbs/in for OTS valving. I'd guess there is some margin built into that recommendation, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I don't make enough money to do what I do.
