I am a fan of keeping the springs compressed, so when I do this, I use the lower control arms and the axle/diff.

Youll notice that the center of the car has no frame rails. The rear frame rails tie into some heavy sheet metal in the rear about the rear seat and the front ones tie into about the bottom of the slope of the front floorboards. Basically the front of the rear wheel well and the rear of the front wheel well, but don't put them under the rocker panels.
