Anyone have any ideas for correcting the imbalance?

mt squat is 300lbs deadlift is 440 so theres quite a big difference
I'm not sure, but I'm starting to think that the problem, at least for me, is my quads being much weaker than my hamstrings. I think one way to correct that is to emphasize front squats more. I think I'm gonna take a month off from deadlifting to let my back rest and focus on front and overhead squats. I'm still trying to figure out what I should do to build up my lower back.
