If you are upgrading the suspension and plan on just driving it on the street and highway then boxing is an option to strengthen the connection points. I have not boxed any of my frame, or welded on any of the suspension, engine, etc. mounts and have not had any problems.

I agree for off road I would not box it my 42 willys jeep is not boxed and flexes better than the boxed ones.
