Apparently 2 inch round stock weigh 10.58 per foot and 1.5 round stock weigh around 6 lbs per foot

Looks like I ll be adding at least 80 lbs to my jeep. Lol

Yeah, the arms are pretty hefty.

I'm not sure what's changed. Maybe nothing. Idk.

I remember paying $360 for the upgrade shipped to my door though.

I have been running this kit for 5 yrs now.. and love it. Of course I welded the mounts to my rig. I recommend doing that as well. You always can cut your welds off later if you sell or part the rig out

I wish it were a full cross member but other than that... I have no complaints.

The joints have held up great since I bought the kit in 2008 (I think).

You can still do a separate cross member, right?
