Haha thanks for the suggestions, I was hoping to save some cash over new. The serious kit looks nice but I ended up ordering the Ruffstuff setup to save some money (+ beefier tubes).
Better double-check your research. Serious kits feature .281" wall thickness.
that's right. I also believe, with the ruffstuff kit. U ll have to weld the threaded adapters to the tube, but with serious's kit, u don't have to because it's already tapped.
True that the Rufftuff kit requires more work, however unfortunately for me I have more time than money at the moment. Would definitely have ordered the Serious kit if it were the other way around.
As to tubing strength, I was bored (did I mention I have a lot of free time lol) so I did the calcs. Thicker wall != stronger tube in this case. At least in regards to bending, which I would think to be the main cause of failure for a steering application.
Higher moment of inertia = higher resistance to bending. The 1.5"x.25" wall tube is 1.8x as strong in bending as the 1.25"x.281" wall tube
