I would change "id go" to you will HAVE to go to a frame or.....the box needs to be repaired properly, not only to hold but for location as well...rear end alignment will be seriously affected.

RE: help with broken torque box

how much are those things? someone told me if you do upper control arms and traction bars you should reinforce the torque box... I dont have any rust up there at all. could I still be in danger?
