You'll have to pull the rear seats and carpet...i personally don't think the rein enforcements are necessary.

As I understand it...most folks just get the IRS under seams welded along with possibly the inner shock tower "bumps"...if anything at all...along with a real subframes.

someone on here is bound to have done it though...post pics if you get a chance!!

Get TQ boxes. You will rip your mounts with time if you're over 500hp. Don't ask these cobra guys here they are clueless. Go on the other forums and look at the guys with high HP GTs. They all have TQ boxes. Wonder why?

Definitely put the torque box reinforcements in since you have a solid axle. They are pretty easy to install, most bolt in and then you have them welded up. I always recommend to have the torque boxes themselves, where they mount to the body, welded up as well.

I just did them in my 04 and it was a pretty straight forward install. You will need a heat gun to scrape the sound deadening off the floor where the inner plates mount.
