Damn you Wikipedia.


Truth be told though it isn't the horse deal holding me back. It is where we are going to live. I should know by the end of the year. Hopefully I'll be in Houston before years end.

Alright serious time. I want to put a bull bar on but it would only look half good since my vehicle is not level. What should I go with to level? Shocks? Spacers? Rancho quick lift? If I go the shock route do I need to worry about changing out the struts? What would y'all do?

I'm saving the SAS for my future Sport Trac.

Way ahead of you. I am researching construction now. By the way I'm going to get the bull bar and the figure out lift.

Planning on keeping the bed, or tubing out the rear?

Seriously though, I don't think the bull bar is heavy enough to warrant changing out too much in the front suspension, unless I misunderstand your question.

Ya I want to see what it looks like with the bull bar on.

When I get the trac I'm keeping the bed. I am going to build and mount a spare tire holder. I'm also thinking of a exoskeleton. I always worry about tip overs. Plus I would get to buy a pipe bender.

A tube bender would probably be better.

Pipe is for poop.

Explain the difference between pipe and tube. In my head they are the same.

Pipe has a seam, which is an inherent weak spot. Pipe is not designed to carry a load. It is basically a flat piece of metal folded over and butt-welded to itself. Tube is drawn over mandrel, seamless, and much stronger in the same dimensions. As such, a pipe bender is not designed to bend tube correctly.

OK I updated my comment to reflect the proper bender.
