Have you added sub frame connectors ?

How are sub frame connectors attached ?

I was reading thru the Hotchkis site, and they say

"Does not require cutting or modifying the floor"


Welded ?

Weld them on.

Some places make bolt-on versions, but they don't work as well - the holes become elongated and some of the benefit is lost.

Weld them on you won't be sorry. I'm cutting mine thru the floor and adding all the strength I can.

Slice one or the other. I think on mine we cut the frame connectors where the torque boxes were.

Download and read the "Installation Instructions" link on the link you attached...It's kinda cool actually, and they have some interesting and pricey items to go along with this too.
