    Considering what you have planned...buy a notcher. Even the cheap one from summit is only like $75 and works awesome. Hell you can even hillbilly notch it with two cuts of a chop saw.

    As for the bender...gotta pay to play. Start making friends or buy your own.

    Oh god.... A well built strait tube (no bends) shock hoop is perfectly strong. I prefer notches over mider, we've been talking via text. Juan will be just fine. Most engine cages are all notches but when it just a hoop you guys loose it and think it needs bends.

    I still say get tubes bent or notch it. LT isn't meant to be done cheap. The price quote you got on bends is way over the top tho. But with that....

    We talked he is going to notch it. And run the tube caps down onto the vertical tube. Very strong way to do it.

    I just had my annual review at work. And the only thing my boss asked me to work on was to try to have more "tact"

    Arches are great at downward force. Think about what force is applied to a shock hoop. It's the opposite, it's force from under it. Strait tubes resist pulling force better. Bends like to keep bending

    Oh, and I hauled some wood in the uncovered bed and dented the rear of my cab! :censored: Dent #3 - I guess a 13yr old truck should have 3 dents or it's not being used as a truck! :D

    Steel actually wants to go back to its original shape. When you bend it, it wants to spring back to straight, even after the bend is complete to the desired angle. Sheet steel that was sheared off a roll will eventually roll back up if you let it. Takes a long time though.

    At 4 those cold night sweats go away (my truck!! My sweet truck!!!). At 6 you pretty much take a tree through the back sliding glass and go "Eh, just a flesh wound."
