I had south side weld in on my 89 IROC but we did it on my fathers allignment rack as ideally you want the preload set on all 4 wheels on a flat surface. Most lifts have 4 jack screws on each arm which causes the body to flex unevely when its in the air. To weld frame rail connectors in a car when the body is tweeked cant be too good for it. I had to pull the conslole, seats & carpet out so I wouldnt burn the carpet. Put the car on a regular lift. I then removed the LCA bolts. Re installed the LCA bolts through the eyelet on the frame rails. My father tached the fronts of each rail up. Let the car down, drove it on the allignment rack. Ground the tach welds off. Ground paint off the underframe and stitch welded the frame rails along the floor. Painted the welds and took the car off the rack and put everything back together. I did this at around 40k and sold the car with about 160k and mt friends always complemented on the fact my T-tops never leaked or rattled even with the car being 12 years old and having that many miles. However, if your 3rd gen ia already 15-16 years old, why would you install them now?
