SFC install question

I know this is not the proper forum and I apologize. However I am about to weld in a set of 3 point sfc's and I only have a frame lift at the shop. Is this ok or do you have to use one thta picks the car up by the wheels? The sfc's have boltholes in the back and in center. Will this line everything up so I can weld the rest in? I got about an hour till the boss leaves before I can start so I figured this forum would get the most traffic.

You want weight on wheels when you install sub-frame connectors. That way the car is "flexed" how it is normally.

U can use the frame lift to get the car up; but set it down so the suspension is loaded with the weight of the car.
