If you box YOU MUST bod From the front of the arm Mounting point to the rear leaf Mounts. You will also, want a cross over bracing. Like an X frame.
Depending when the book was made. The tecnologies today require the X Frame support. It is by far safer. I do not recomend installing any wires or tubing like brake lines inside your future inclosed frame as stated in another post. If there is leaks or a short in the wires. You will have a hard time. Plus if they are installed before you box the frame. YOU may very well have issues with the heat doing damage to the wires etc.
Good luck
