    Easy enough to do, if you want your car to look like a 4X4. The Fierebird was just not designed to do this. You can however join your subframe to the rear frame section with "frame connectors" and stiffen it with a cage. That's what the pros do.

    Good advice......Frame conectors are available from vendors.Chassis Engr in FL is one. They are inexpensive & once welded,the frame is stiffer.
