Yes I know braces are the way to go but, there are also little cheap things we can do that help. The reason I ask is mine is on jack stands awaiting the new rear end and I was going to reinforce the lower torque boxes with a nice bead on the spot welds that are from the factory.

I was just looking to take advantage of the car being up in the air for the time being and do as much as I can.
