normally i would agree and that had been thought of... however with the cage in the plans and i never cut completely through the tube i didn't see it neccessary to be honest..

A full, properly installed cage would definatly help..dutchmans wouldn't hurt..and done right ..down right sexy..lol. Looks great though. If your confident in the connections...the run it, now get building and posting!

thank you.. i gotta say i'm floored by the response it's getting.. here's a flex test before the redesign of the front suspention... ended up 3linked after this test.... hasen't made it back together for another test.. 36in to bottom of tire with more to go...and lift flex isn't as good as natural
