>What is the "Belts-and-suspenders" fix?
My frame is off. There were no cracks, but we welded a plate along the
top of the cross member. The plate is large, almost the length and width
of the cross member. We welded the differential mounting studs to the
plate. We also boxed in the differential mount brackets.
Hmmm.... the body doesn't rest anywhere on the cross member does it? I
hope not, because the extra thinckness of the plate we added may not be
good if it does.

You've already doen the belts-and-suspenders bit. You can sleep soundly
now. If the body does touch you can always shim the whole thing up a bit to
clear it. How thick was the plate? If it was 1/16 I doubt there will be a
problem since the studs protrude that much.
