Peter,

Perhaps you can start a new thread with the details of your build rather than posting in this thread that is about Scott Brady's truck?

Youre a braver man than I. There is NO way I would be underneath a truck supported in the rear in this spot.

Huh?? This is one of the strongest sections of the chassis. The fore and aft suspension movement is secured at this point. Not sure how to calculate the strength but there is massive load on this section. Not a failure issue on rover frames.The front and rear link attachment points are at the same height. Creating an even lifting point.
Done it may times.

I've been picking them up for years with a lift on this point. If you can't pick it up there where would you? Probably one of the strongest parts of the frame, I would say probably stronger than the actual frame on either side of that point.

Quick update on my Disco - still have it - still drive it (whenever I am in the US) and still love it

No new modifications and nothing really new on the schedule. I might actually start taking a few things off or out of it

I bet the waiting list on your Disco is looooooooong.
