Is that what you're after or are you wanting something higher up so you can work under the car while it's on the cart?
I was thinking the same locations as well, but then 98NOVASS pointed out that the tipping point is where the frame rails meet the floor. With the front end and sub off the car, the trunk weight would make it prone to tipping. Probably why we almost dumped it in the street. Extending the cart and adding tabs that attach to the rear leaf spring mount would resolve that issue.

A lot closer to what seems right. By pure chance, this seems to be resolved.

Trust me the entire adventure has been 100% Sketchy... and I'm just getting started.
