To box or not to box?????
I came across a great deal on a powder coated frame. I want to know if it's worth boxing the frame to help the handling? It not an issue if I have to fix the powder coat I just want the truck to handle the best that it can. If there are other tricks i'm all ears.

Re: To box or not to box?????
I will box the back portion from the cab to the c-notch and putting a x-brace in that section with drive shaft loops. I'll box the front portion from the cab to the front sway bar. I will be using 1/8" steel. We will see though. When I get back home I'll start a build thread.

Re: To box or not to box?????
Yes it was. It is set up for leaf springs. I did get a rear trailing arm kit from CPP.
