If you could somehow ratchet the frame down, would that help?

Maybe a bolt or chain in the concrete floor, and then ratchet it down like it had the weight of the body and drive train?

Somewhere in one of the Packard books I remember seeing a picture of the factory loading the bars. If I remember correctly, the frame was upside down, and the back arms were brought down to the frame to then have the stirrup put in place. Maybe it was the kimes book?
