Torque boxes, when to upgrade?

Rick 91GT · 03-26-2001, 08:36 AM

get to what dinomite? If you have a SN car you need to cut on the factory boxes to slide the Wild Rides componets up there. TO get to the torque boxes on a Fox. Pull the lower arms and springs and upper arms down, rest your rear on a pair of jack stands sjust watch the brake hose that is connected to the rear. CLean and weld all the seems on the upper, then bang or the lower boxes seams together and weld them up, it is almost impossible to weld up all the seams up in the lower due to clearance you can't get up there with a TIG. Make sure you pull your carpet back and scrape away the deadond material so nothing catches fire! I bolted the plate in the welded around the plates to give added strength, right now since I just installed a cage my kicker bars go right inbetween the bolts on the "Battle Boxes" I made. Hope this helps
