UPR sells some,
they are rediculously expensive for a few pieces of bent metal with holes drilled in them.

If your torque box is ripped you have to do more then the reinforcement plates... You are going to need a fabricator or frame shop fix them...After that then you can worry about reinforcing them... Don't worry about reinforcing something you don't have if you catch my meaning...
