I was looking at the upper control arm pockets (where they bolt into the frame) and noticed that the entire pocket is tearing away from the frame. Too much torque and no battle boxes. I thought that I had seen an advertisement in MMFF for a company that made a complete replacement for the upper control arm pockets. Does anyone know what who makes something like this?? Thanks guys.

The wild rides S box is overpriced. It's like $500. Then you need to pay to have it installed, which i'm going to assume is between $200-$350 depending on your location.


I bet the same shop that would have to install that thing, could do new mounts for less money.

Or, get a torque arm and panhard bar if you are into a handling style suspension.
Ya it costs more, but at least you are actually getting something for your money.

BTW, they can be pushed back into place at home, it's a PITA but it can be done. And then you use the upper torque box kit.
