So you are boxing in your bumper? If yes then great! it'll be stronger. As far as the frame goes: as long as you manage the heat well & avoid warping the frame (it's relatively easy to do) then go ahead. A cautionary note: The frame has built in flex from the factory. Full boxing eliminates and/or chagnes teh flex points. Unexpected failures can ensue.

Maybe post up in the "extreme builds" section as partial to full frame boxing is common in their world.

Best of luck!
