Partially boxing a frame will only stiffen one part of a frame and not the rest. In doing so, you move the load and stresses from the boxed portion of the frame to areas immediately surrounding that boxed area. If these areas are not improved to accept this additional load and stress, then you will encourage damage (cracking, distortion, etc.) in these areas.

Like others have said, not necessary.
