it's NOT being cheap, it't having a brain and being smart about it. The way you are talking, you would be stupid for using DOM and not true tig welded chrome-moly tubing.
You don't have to have 40 spline axleshafts on a 2000lb rig. There is a reason God made brains. Overkill is not the answer.
Not to be singleing Scott out, but I noticed in the recent tube buy thread that Scott requested DOM.
Scott have you changed your position on the strength of HREW? Why the switch to DOM?
