Installed subframe connectors, pics
Installed subframe connectors, pics I finally decided it was time to install my subframe connectors. Problem was the lift at our shop doesn't load the suspension. Hmmm what to do what to do... oh hey how strong you think 55 gallon drums are??? Haha anyways we figured out how to load the suspension. Thanks to my friend who helped me weld the connectors in.

Those 55 gal steel drums are a lot stronger than you think they are. I guarantee you could leave that whole car sit on those barrels without that lift on there for months and nothing would happen. I'm a on site heavy duty farm machinery mechanic and we use only two 55 gal steel drums to hold up 2+ ton unloaders all day long.
Yeah I knew it was plenty safe as long as you spread out the load, thats what the ramps were for. If you have ever tried to run these over with a tractor you would realize they are very strong. People stack drums on top of one another when they are full, how much weight do you think they can support? 900 lbs is no problem, you city boys are silly.

I think since pallets can hold up tanks and cinder blocks can hold up houses you are probably ok.
