Default pull dash for 8pt chage install

i just ordered a wolfe 8pt cage am i gonna have to pull my dash to have this thing welded in?

also are sfcs still worth having now that i have a cage ? (this may be a dumb question but i figure the cage stiffens the chasis alot right so will the sfcs still be needed ?

finally besides new seats and hanresses what other safety changes should i be makeing so to help surive high speed wrecks...(gas tank? safety glass?)

thnaks for the help im new to safety ****

thats good news about the dash !!!!


i don't know where the cage gets welded to yet... i do know the 8pt has subframe tie down bars; now id be bull-shitting you if i told you i had a clue as to what those actually are... but i was guessing they work kinda like sub frame connectors??

hopefully some one will step in here and fill in the blanks...

I would not put in SFCs if you have an 8pt that goes through the dash. It ties the chassis together like SFCs do. I already had my SFCs welded in. And now I'm putting a wolf 6pt chromoly in as soon as it gets here!
