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.Don Meyer, PhD-Mech Engr(48 GMC Trk/chopped/cab extended/caddy fins & a GM converted Rolls Royce Silver Shadow).
Good to have her home finally, still need to go back and give her another polish after messing with the engine stuff. Made it up to Idaho. Also a local show.
