For folks who have relocated your springs into the frame rails by cutting BOTH sides of the frame rail, did you support the rear of the car? I'm wondering if the body would sag much with the back end not supported.
 
I supported mine just in front of the leaf springs. Weight on the back end of car isn't heavy at all, especially when you remove the rear end, gas tank, etc. you'll def want to get the car as high off the ground as possible to get under there and work in the relocation boxes.
 
Thanks. I actually just one side out and it didn't sag at all. Of course the car has a full cage, so I'm sure that helps. I just wasn't sure if the back half of the shell is heavy enough to sag behind the front spring mounts with the frame cut. I guess not.
 
I supported the front, in front of the leaf springs & behind. I even went as far as to make the car as level as possible. Jut me lol
