Torque Box ?'s

Coupe Devil · 10-16-2001, 02:16 PM

I am gonna be running stock rear suspension components for awhile due to lack of funds but was wondering if it would be beneficial to go ahead and upgrade the torqe boxes. I figured since I was already onna have the rearend out to go ahead and do now. I plan on using Mega bite upper and lowers with a set of drag springs and air bag kit later. Also my bestest buddy that is helping me out on the car is a professional welder, he is plenty capable but would be stupid to BUILD my own torque boxes and plates.

I like the wild rides Battle boxes but could save a few bucks and build them myself? What should I do?
