Not to hijack the thread just a quick question... About to install posi rear in my 72cutlass convertible in the next month. Is it worth boxing the lowers and adding sway bar? Installing bored and stroked 350. Thanks guys

Kitfoxdave,
Yes,now is a good time to do that.Do a bushing upgrade as well.Either some type of urethane or polygraphite.Even new OEM rubber ones would be better than the 40yr old ones in there now.

And yet, you did.

Now you have your own shiny new thread.

Intragration

Absolutely, the rear sway bar in particular is a big improvement. The boxed lower arms and harder rubber bushings help too, not as much as the sway bar itself, but they still help.

Run to Rund

A couple of the resto houses offer both boxed ams and the boxing plates by themselves.

If you can weld, the plates can be had for about $25 on ebay.

SHould I box the upper rear arms as well?

The uppers are supposed to torsionally flex. You don't box them
