Default Sub frame connectors

Quick question, to install 3 point welded in sfc’s should the car be on its wheels ( on a 4 post lift) while its being welded? ( I’m thinking for natural body tension ) I just see the body sagging if it’s on a 2 post lift? Any ideas? Thanks.

My understanding is that yes, it needs to be on its wheels.

Here's what I did. Have done it with Mudstains as well. If you do something like this you make sure your setup it good and solid, and good boards/blocks to support the car. The last thing you want is for it to fall on you. Probably a good idea to have a friend with you incase something were to go wrong.

I see you went with the more effective design SFC's. Any negative side effects after installing? Did any heat work it's way up to the carpet/interior?
