Boxing Radius Arms

Is there anything to be gained from doing this? Anything to lose? Unless it will damage something i was going to do it anyways just for the fun of it.

You wanna box the arm all the way down? If ur hardcore offroader or rock crawling maybe. I don't know alot of people who have bent them but i guess it would make them stronger.

Handling? As in when driving on the Road? I would say - NO. Boxing the Radius Arms would strengthen them. I guess that is if you beat the truck senseless though. I have an 86 Bronco that I beat pretty senseless. I has stock everything except for the Mini spool in the rear end and 33" Swampers. When the front does finally break I am dropping in my D-60.
