How are you guys pulling the front end down on your cars after they have been run? I have a method, but pretty sure its not the best one.

Wedge a pipe or length of wood between the end of a frame rail and a solid part of the garage ceiling. Put the floor jack under the cross member or crush box and start lifting. Works quite well.

I tie mine down on my trailer.....a few jacks and some flat steel seems to work well for me.

I have hooks sunk into the shop floor. Same concept as the trailor. Fast and efficient.

Make friends with your local bodyshop and ask if they can do minor frame work in exchange for some sponsorship. JMO

Every small town in America has a local bodyshop and most of them have some type of frame machine. Many will do some type oif sponsorship for a couple of hours work on Saturday in exchange for putting their name on your car. JMO

What ever method you use to chain it down make sure you use a 20 bottle jack, and not your floor jack. I blew the seals out of one a few years ago, lesson learned the hard way.

The flat steel is for patching/plating the bends
