For now though, they have to stay there whether they're close to optimum or not.

On your tie-down idea, not sure other than welding loops or tabs onto the cross member how you mean to do this. And could this constitute "modifying the frame" in the rulebook sense? Don't need any surprises at first tech session.

I used some old "westin" running board brackets sandwiched between the frt bumper brackets on my American, i'll see if I can get some pictures today and see if i'm smart enough to post them here IF anybody is interested.
btw, i'm using 6cyl springs but it's a trunion car...
