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

willmild sheet metal like 16 gauge work? or what they use more heavy duty or what is it? dont tell me its just the "time" it takes to make these things is the reason for the cost.

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...
