Why the **** do you think you need 2" 1/4 wall for a cage? It will be almost impossible to bend, weigh 2-3 times more tha 1.75 .120 and cost an assload. Did Tummy come up with that idea?

I'd definitely give a few transmission shops a call for some help. You've already got a bunch of time and money tied up in it.

I meant 2" .120 wall. I can't skimp on that on size. My truck is heavy enough to need it per rules I'm following.
I'll fix it. I need to see if oliver brothers will help me figure out what's wrong with it.

2" .120 is still going to cost about twice as much as 1.75 .120 because no one uses it. The smart way to buy tube is through group buys so you get a price break

MATERIAL
Rollcage construction material may be crew, Dom, whr, wcr mild carbon steel or 4130 chromoly.
This is what I can use, and anything over 4k pounds has to use 2" .120 wall tubing

where did you find that anything over 4k lbs needs 2" .120 wall, i have seen, pictures, videos and in person, many rigs that weigh over that with 1.75 cages take hard hits and everyone was fine
Well, there's a reason sam, Travis, and I are going to the EDR 200 later this year and also a reason why I'm keeping ttb and half ton rear axle.

I emailed Baja Racing of Texas about using 1.75" .120 wall but Extreme Desert Racing just says you need a 6 point cage with no requirements on what tube size or type you use. I'm looking at class 8 right now and in several years when I get a real job I'll move into the door slammer class. Right now the priorities are getting a working transmission and working on a roll cage and figuring out what shocks I'm going to use. Does anybody have any experience with FOA coilovers? I've read some good and some bad stuff but for what I'm doing I think they'll be okay. Thinking of 2.5 coilovers with reservoir in probably 14 inch travel. I need to figure out what spring rates and valving to use. I guess I'll finish my cage and weigh it together a better idea of what i need. Thoughts about spring rate or FOA shocks?

First I suggest saving money and going to races

If you're really wanting to run FOA talk to them and see what they recommend

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
I found a '96 5.8/e4od/bw1356 for my truck that'll be going in very soon. Easy fix to a sluggish motor and a transmission that doesn't shift. Everything works well and is out of a wrecked truck.

Out of a Bronco? There was one like you are describing on the list.
