no its expandable foam, you can get it from grainger and other industrial supply companies. there are different weights and densities also. Theres a thread about it on freshalloys in the archive section. The foam is a bit expensive, it would probably be about 100$ to just do the inside of the car and frame rails.

I saw those and said the same thing you did. They look super easy to make and should help out a lot with the front end sag. I'd definitely fab/install them with full weight on the suspension, wouldn't want my car looking like a croissant driving down the road.

Keep us posted on how you're doing on your set.

Because it's got some quirks that need to be figured out. And I dont want to get stuck again on the side of the road. I'm not putting down the job done on the wiretuck because it looks great, but I'm wondering if some of the things that were deleted are causing the problems Im having.
