Is welding the upper torque boxes going to help, or should I just put in the battle boxes?
Will just welding them help out at all?

The upper comtrol arm mounts are held on there by a couple of spot welds...I've seen these break...If you can weld them up before they break you will be savin yourself a big headache!....
The battle boxes help reinforce the already thin/weak metal used on the torque boxes..

I will look, and thanks dude, I will really appreciate it. I wish I had a 2000sq ft garage with the lifts in my backyard. Dude you are one lucky bastard. If i cant find it, I will help you go get one at the junkyard.
Does anyone know if the battle boxes can be installed on a already welded upper torque box?
