D50:Rear Sub Frame Support



I figured out a way to still use the factory rear sub frame and reinforce it to keep the rear end from flexing. The last time I had the frame on jack stands I noticed a pretty large amount of flex in the rear end and realized I needed to tie the sub frame into the rear of the frame instead of just the top.

The sub frame can still slide in and out of the frame and now has support from the bottom of the frame as well. I know the rear sub frame doesn't really fit into the rest of the frame, but it should be thoroughly hidden once everything is assembled and the body is on. It definitely makes adapting the rear end to this build much easier.
