I was just wondering since im doin all my suspension stuff this year, when do you have to start worrying about welding up your torque boxes? The most power i will probably ever have is 400HP or so thanks to a procharger when i get it. Do i need to worry about doing that with 400HP?

 

Not a bad idea, as our torque boxes are weak! I'm getting it done over the winter.

 

How hard is it to do this yourself? Anyone know of a how to write up?

 

UPR's website has alittle "how-to" on their website.

 

I paid a friend $50 to do mine and my axle tubes. You need them if you plan on hooking on launches

 

do you have to buy the "special" brackets for your torque boxes or what did you guys do? also, i heard that there is a special way to weld the axle tubes. if you make a continuous bead that you will warp the rearend?

 

they sell battle boxes, I have a set that I never used, as for the axles, you are correct... you haven't to know what you are doing or you can mess it up.
