Like 1-ton said as much as possible.
If your going to have a lot of horse power no question about it I would box all the way.

Re: Frame pic's
Here a couple of pics. Box as much as possible and if your gonna put the HP to it build you a X-crossmember for the flex. The frames are really pretty weak stand on the runnning board brackets and watch the flex in the frame rails after boxing there is none you will notice the difference as soon as you tack the boxing plates to the frame rails progressive automotive has them for about $225.00. Just my opinion

Re: Frame pic's
It was ordered out of LMC catalog 71 blazer one of my threads has it in there. Also I have the mustang II ifs bagged front end with sway bar and pwr rack in, will try and get my latest post update soon have a great detailed pics on how to install the bear claw latches in the push button type doors nice, neat clean install and how to get the latch to work with the handles, was real easy took alittle thought and the only thing you will have to make one part and that is the new latch out of metal along with retaining the spring out of the old orginal latches, with door hardware clips from autozone for the new handle to latch rod on the bear claw latch, I have the template for the new latch if anyone wants it mailed. This install will also disassemble for replacement of latch should it go bad later ya gonna love it. After seeing the ones that were referencing to look at in the forum some doors were just butchered. Theres always a better way to skin a cat.
