That would be true if you used the suspension points to attach your rotisserie. With your current setup, you're putting stress into the frame where it was never designed to deal with it.

I've seen my fair share of bend tubs and that center section is the weakest point in the frame. You'd be surprised how much it flexes, even with good longs.

But hey, it's your car ...

PS: I bet if you try to mount your doors right now, you'll have a hard time closing them ...
