Well...my "metal plates" that I just welded up, completely reinforced the entire factory torque boxes from every side. And there were no problems after that. When I rebuilt my torque boxes...there were no such thing as battle boxes. I fabricated & welded my own custom boxes up...for free. No need to knock what I did when you have no idea what it looks like...or how much power my torque boxes can handle...so quit speculating my workmanship. My rebuilt boxes handled the...rigid bushings of the SSM bars just fine. But after discovering that Ford built the weakest, thinnest torque boxes on earth...and seeing how the SSM lift bars were ripping my car apart...I realized there is really no reason what so ever, to use them on a STREET DRIVEN Mustang such as mine. And I'm guessing skiwesser's Mustang is a street car as well. Just my opinion 420...cause I'm guessing your stang is a race car...and rarely sees street duty...if at all.

Hold up!
I DID NOT by any means rip on your car! I myself had welded up plates to the car at one time! And guess what...it broke too!! It was just welded up to another piece of shit thin metal. All I said was if you just put in the battle boxes and not weld up some plates you shouldn't have any problems. ....
Now did I say weld up some bullshit like simi stang and your car will be junk????NO!!!!
Now if you weld up a box (on a bench)... then bolt it in, under the car...it will be stronger....RIGHT? Of course you still need to install the top plate (under the seat) and you got your self a sound torque box. You can also take it a step further and then weld it to the cage and add a point. I myself had nothing to weld my battle box too!!!!!! My rear end almost fell out!!!!!!! Due to a ripped torque boxes with a strong plate welded to a thin piece of metal ALONG THE FLOOR PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!
As goes for my "RACE CAR" it's a real "STREET CAR" on P-U-M-P
G-A-S with a hyd cam shifting at 6,200 rpms!!! Maybe you were pissed off before or after reading my post but, my post was never intended on knocking your stuff. Some people will have great luck with something and some will not. It doesn't mean that it's no good...it just didn't work out for what ever reason. Shit it could have been user error, bad workmanship, etc. But I find it amusing when a car runs stronger then someone elses, it's automatically labaled as a "RACE CAR" or some other stupid excuse!
How funny!
Oh yea by the way it 60't 1.58 with a broken sprag leaving at idle.
Yea. it's a race car...lol
