DESCRIPTION
THE ORIGINAL WILD RIDES “BATTLE BOX”™ COMBO KIT
Protect and reinforce the rear suspension mounting points of your 1979-2004 Ford Mustang with the original Wild Rides “Battle Box”™ Upper & Lower Torque Box Reinforcement Combo Kit. Designed and developed by Wild Rides, this proven chassis reinforcement system helps prevent the cracking, bending, and tearing commonly found around factory rear control arm mounting points on Fox Body and SN95 Mustangs.
Whether you’re launching hard at the drag strip, pushing your car on the street, or repairing existing torque box damage, the Battle Box™ Combo Kit provides a durable, cost-effective solution for strengthening one of the most vulnerable areas of the factory chassis.
Wild Rides pioneered both the original lower torque box reinforcement kit and the upper torque box reinforcement kit. Backed by more than 25 years of real-world racing experience, the Battle Box™ remains a trusted solution for Mustang enthusiasts looking to improve chassis durability, suspension consistency, and overall performance.
“Battle Box”™ is a trademark of Wild Rides. Don’t be fooled by inferior imitations.
Why Reinforce Your Torque Boxes?
The factory rear upper and lower control arm mounting points are subjected to tremendous forces during hard acceleration, aggressive launches, and heavy braking. These loads are transferred directly into the Mustang’s unibody chassis through the rear suspension torque boxes.
Over time, repeated stress can cause the factory sheet metal to flex, crack, bend, or tear away from the surrounding chassis structure. This is a well-known problem on Fox Body and SN95 Mustangs, particularly on vehicles equipped with performance suspension components, sticky tires, or increased horsepower.
Once torque box damage occurs, repairs can become expensive and difficult to complete correctly. The Wild Rides Battle Box™ Combo Kit reinforces these critical mounting areas to help prevent future damage while also providing reinforcement for properly repaired torque boxes.

Construction & Materials
Wild Rides Battle Box™ reinforcements are manufactured from 1/8″ cold-rolled steel plate, providing the strength needed to reinforce the factory torque boxes without adding unnecessary material thickness or weight.
While thicker 3/16″ or 1/4″ steel could be used, more than 25 years of racing experience and real-world testing have demonstrated that the 1/8″ plate construction provides the reinforcement needed for these applications.
Installation
The Battle Box™ Combo Kit is designed for straightforward installation using basic hand tools and a drill. Typical installation takes approximately 2-3 hours, depending on vehicle condition and installer experience.
● Basic hand tools and a drill required
● Installation hardware included
● Installation instructions included
● Welding is optional but recommended for additional reinforcement
IMPORTANT: Vehicles with existing torque box damage should have any cracked or torn factory sheet metal properly repaired before installing the reinforcement kit.
The Original Battle Box™
Wild Rides designed and developed the original Battle Box™ to address the rear torque box failures commonly experienced by Fox Body and SN95 Mustang owners. The result is an affordable, race-proven reinforcement solution designed to protect your chassis and improve suspension performance.
