Default Subframe Connectors

I'm going to be putting in subframe connectors in the Charger real soon and I just wanted to know the best way to go about doing it. I got the US car tool laser cut connectors, so I don't have to do any cutting to my floor. I'll also be pulling the motor again, so I was wondering if it's best to do it with the motor in or out? What has worked for guys that have put them in? How should it be done? Thanks a whole heap.

Leave the motor in the car. Also, have it sitting on the wheels, or jacks under the diff and LCA's. You want the chassis loaded just as it would be if you were driving it.

yes you want the car under its own weight i always weld them in i dont trust bolts.if you dont have a welder most good muffler shops can weld them in.one thing id double check first is get a shop manual that shows messure ments on the front and rear frame rails make sure the cars straight.
