Using our rear clip with it's 0.120" thick rails to replace the stock .045" rails also adds considerable strength as well. If you put jackstands on 3 corners of my car, the remaining corner sags about 1/8" or so. It's rock solid.

That is all very interesting. Thanks.
I guess one the things that attracts me to the full frame is being able to use C4/C5 Corvette suspension and having something solid in the rear that the IRS could attach to. Another thing I liked about the SRG frame is that I do not have to cut up my floors.
