dez racing can do it. they are in seakonk ma about 5 min from providence ri

Dez dosent have a drive on lift, Subframes are best installed on a drive on lift. No offence To Mike and Brian at Dez Racing there awsome guys, but this is a job best done on a drive on lift.

Subframes

Dont know any where down there that does sub's, but on the south shore you have DMC Racing, and MPE Racing, I believe both have drive on lifts.

dont need a drive on. just need to support the weight of the vehicle with the suspension.

and what are you gonna use to do that with without a drive-on lift? Hopes and Dreams? :poke:

jack stands set at equal height? thats how DMC Racing does them...thats how alot of places do them...

all you have to do is let the cars weight sit on the suspension and its good

FWIW... had my FLSCs done without a drive-on lift ~4 years ago. Much to many peoples surprise... my doors open and close, my car tracks true and straight, and the sun didn't fall from the sky! Reputable shops (like the ones mentioned) know how to do it right, regardless of the type (or lack of) lift.

That would be how dennis did mine. At his old shop, he didn't even have a lift.
Do you have regular subframe connectors or thru the floor subframe connectors?

Thru the floors are the way to go. I had Tube Chassis do my old notch a few years ago. In the end you end paying about the same and they are a much better set up than the ones that just weld to the floor.

MM subs are $120 and welding them up isnt much effort...$100 at most for welding....I wish my through the floors subs were only $220!

Mine were $300 installed @ Tube Chassis. This was a couple years ago. Prices may have changed by now. If you guys are going to DMC then yah you are paying a lot more because he is overpriced.
