yes, the addition of the heavy cross sills on the box did effectively stiffen the frame(I think). the truck is much firmer to ride in, But not a complaint. if I jack up 1 corner, she still flexes somewhat, just not like factory. The old wood floor boxes IMO , had more flex than the steel floor versions. I still need a little help up front, but i think a good swaybar & bushings will help. I sure do agree that the stiffer cab bushings may not be for every build, just a matter of useage crazyL
