Anybody got drawings of the upper torque box reinforcements fo a fox? I have made a set of lowers with a drawing I found here on the forum, but nothing about the uppers.

Since they are nothing more than 11 ga -AND- I work in a fab shop...I REALLY don't want to spend the cash on something I can make myself.

I appreciate the help!

I do not have a drawing but i know the part inside the car Dave zimmeeman at Team Z just uses a 6x6 plate and welds in in and then uses a angle piece that goes from the out side

Yes, I have the 6" x 6" plates installed with the 90 deg bracket installed on the LCA's.

The drawing I'm looking for is the larger radius plates and the small 120 deg (?) bent bracket
like the WildRides Upper Battle Box kits.

I have seen the install instructions listed all over for the uppers, but no drawings. Only drawings for the lower reinforcements.

I thought about buying a set, measuring them up & then returning them but after return shipping & restocking fee it just wouldn't be worth it.

I appreciate any help I can get....Thanks again!

There was a thread on the Corral with dimensions for making the plates. I had to search to find it. I ended up buying UMI's instead. But they don't look too hard to make. Good luck

Since I have been looking for days all over the internet now with no luck on a drawing, I'm starting to wonder if the upper torque box reinforcements are just a gimmick.

I would think if they were really an asset, then more of you guys would have them - along with a sticky on building your own. The lower boxes were straight forward and plenty of info out there on thiose, just not anything for the uppers.....

I think I'll just throw a few welds on the upper boxes to stiffen up the factory spot welds and call it good.

I'm running poly uppers and just didn't want binding to trash my upper boxes.

The factory spot welds are what fails... just weld up the edges of the upper boxes and you'll be good.

If you ever go to a serious rear suspension the upper control arms aren't even used and therefore the boxes are useless.
