frame

[wild85]

Has anyone reinforced there frame with more cross members or just torched the old one and replaced with tube, if so where and how is it set up, and if so post the pictures if you have. Cause I am going to do it but not sure of best place to do it.

removed the rear spare tire support member and boxed the frame were I could. but reinforcement is not needed until you pass the 400HP mark in my opinion.

being full framed vehicles i don\'t see the need to box the frame in, all your doing is adding weight. The frames are plenty ridgid the way they are. Sure with gobs of traction they will flex, and actually you want it to flex..to a certain point. without flex all it will do is put to much strain on the rearend and drivetrain, and you\'ll end up breaking shit.

I wonder if a blazer flexes if it will bend the body?

[bohn333]

sure any vehicle if flexed enough will bend the body, I Knew a guy with a 68 or 69 Mr. Norms Dart with a 440 in it and it had kinks by the A-pillars from body flex. Its better to have that than to break the tranny in two.

well yeah, thats true, but a tranny could be less expensive than a body job..
