[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 430646, member: 19255"] I figured you would weigh in, being a serious wheeler I knew you'd have a cage, and your input is much appreciated! BTW, I like the grab handles, that is something I also intend on doing. Like i said my fabricator can't bend 2" and since I intend to keep the factory "Racer-back" 2-1/2" roll bar, I don't want 1-3/4" tube. Thus the PS lower stanchions make sense, though I'm not crazy about the style, No bending of tube would be required. But, 1-3/4" will be fine for the reinforcements I want; Top A pillar corners to the center of the factory roll bar. A pillar floor plate to the middle of the factory B pillar, just above fender well. Middle of the B pillar to the base of the C pillar (kicker) along the top of the fender well. I've thrown around the idea of frame tie, but if the cage is solid enough i don't see a need for it. My tub is completely free of rust. And I don't like the idea of welding on a frame if it isn't necessary, frames are tempered from the factory and welding compromises that. Backing plates, Yes, preferably with the nuts welded to it. [/QUOTE]
