boxing or tubing for the lcas

what would be better? i know everyone boxes them but what about putting tubing in them welding from bushing to bushing?wouldnt that be as strong. the reason i ask is because well i havent realy seen any with tubing and im just wondering whats better. im gonna be tubing my panhard bar and might as well weld some in my lcas as well.

many stock lcas from thirdgens have a piece of tubing bolted into them. my berlinetta had them without me knowing and i ended up boxing my buddies old lcas and using those.

i put a piece of 3/4" square tubing in mine and welded it in place. Had to taper the ends of the tubing a little bit with a grinder.
