Frame Stiffeners-Good or Bad?
I'm building my 66 shortbed for street/strip duty. I'll be running a narrowed 9 inch and wider tires. Powerplant will be either a healthy LSA setup or a 370 ci/80mm turbo. I had purchased a Tinworks Fabrications frame stiffener and trailing arms for the truck. I've seen some say the stiffeners aren't a good idea and are hard on the frame. I'd like to hear other's opinions or experience with something like this. I won't be caging this truck.

Re: Frame Stiffeners-Good or Bad?
Since I broke the old Blue Truck in half almost. I would say that's a good idea. If you aren't going to cage it it needs to be boxed in as much as possible.

Can't see why they would be a bad thing.
