should I box my frame on my 48?

Im kinda whoring this question out tonight on another forum also because I've got the day off tomorrow and want to get going. So no disrespect to anybody. Anyway...

I've always planned on boxing my frame on my 48. I bought the metal for it earlier this summer & was at the point of starting... Now I'm finally back to it again.

Heres the deal though. Based on my experience w/ some newer heavy duty pickup trucks, I start wondering if a c-channel frame will ride better than a boxed frame. I dont know but, I figure I oughta investigate it a little more.

So today I call the manufacturer of the independent front suspension, 4 link, coilovers, etc that I purchased from - for some insight. They say that it'll ride better boxed so that the suspension can do what its supposed to. Ok, thats one issue that makes some sense maybe. What do you fellas think?

However, they definitely didnt seem to think it was a good idea to be boxing a frame unless I have a setup like a frame table w/ fixtures to keep everything together right. Seemed to indicate it would be too difficult otherwise, -despite whatever bracing I would do. I dont got no frame table. I was just going to brace the crap out of it and as I go along, try to keep the heat from welding down.

Bottom line; should I box my frame or not?

Thanks for any wisdom here.
