                   Yes, belt (Bolts into bumper mounts) and suspenders
(rectangular inserts into the jacking points) is appropriate.  Along with a
couple of turnbuckle type devices between the windshield mounting area and
the 7/16 bolts in the rear wheel wells.  They keep the flex of the unibody
in check so that the doors don't jam shut when the chassis is suspended
from its extents rather than the normal suspension points.
