Welcome to the test copy of the new GMN. This is purely for testing. Nothing posted here will be saved, so please don't post anything important here. The data is from a copy of GMN from right around Thanksgiving 2022, so there are some gaps but there is enough here to work with. Please let us know what works and what don't so we can try and debug this before the final move.
Thanks!
What size plate did you use to box them? I'd like to do this to my car soon.

Is there any measurable advantage/disadvantage to boxing the upper control arms? I recently boxed the lowers and was thinking, why not box the uppers as well? I searched around the forum but didn't find any talk of this one way or the other...

I heard that if you box the uppers that it would cause binding, but im not 100% sure.

But I forgot to post my LCA's, I finished them about 2 months ago.
First, I got the LCA's off of a PI because they are made of 12 gauge steel, instead of 14 gauge civi ones, so they are already stronger than my factory ones. Then I fully boxed them with 3/16" diamond plate steel.
I haven't gotten around to installing them yet, but I can't wait to see the difference.
