As the topic says. Does the top plate really need to be welded to the floor?I dont have over 300HP and i DONT run slicks, so take that into consideration when giving your answer.

Nope... you can bolt it in if you like. Welding is just for a little more peace of mind. I would still urge to have your torque boxes welded though.

You mean like this guys here?





I see this guy has his control arms out. Can the torque boxes be welded up like this with the arms still in place?

Yes they can. Sometimes you gotta hold your tongue just right to get to everything though. It's certainly a LOT easier with them out of the way.
