Anything else going in besides that, the car hooked good for what it had, things may tighten up a bit and possibly hurt your hook. That gear banging did some damage.

This is how far the rear shifted.
The actual damage.
Here you can see the box tacked to the frame (under the lines)...YES, it should be flush with the top and left side of the frame!! lol
I'm thinking about doing the WILD RIDES S-Box...that should keep things in order for a while!

DEF. GO WITH THE S BOX AKA "THE BATTLE BOX"
DID IT WITH MY CAR BUILD 3 YEARS AGO.
WHEN YOU GO TO INSTALL IT,... USE THE BOLTS AND ALSO WELD IT IN.
GOOD LUCK

We fixed it friday nite, worked on the car till 4 am and still made first round of drag radial thanks from some help from a few friends! Joe (J&E) came over and looked at it and helped us use ratchet straps to help pull them back in place, then i bolted them close to where they were supposed to go with the UPR kit. What a long nite!

That's nuts glad it worked out. What are you going to do to fix them for good? I should get my s-box tomorrow but finding someone to install it seems to be the issue now...
