Default RE: Beefing up the rear

I found a company that sells the Wild Ride Battle Boxes and just noticed they have both upper and lower kits.

Do I need both? The lower kit is $99.95 and the upper torque box is $109.95.

Is this worth it or should I just get the axle tubes and torque boxes welded?

tons of companies make battle boxes. check ebay. as long as they are made of 1/8" steel and include grade 8 hardware, its good. i bought my uppers and lowers in a kit for about $140


and why do you only make 450hp on a sc'd 347? my new sc'd 331 will be in the 600hp range
