Default Attn UMI: Subframe question

Any chance you guys would make a set of your weld-in, boxed Subframes in cromoly?



PS- Just got in your roto-joint panhard and STB (both cromoly) They look killer!

Glad you liked the items

Unfortunately we only offer the tubular style in chrome moly steel. I am not sure if they produce square/rectangular chrome moly tubing, they may, I just never looked for it. If they do it is not common to come by.

The tubular style we offer is very nice, they are light weight, tuck up tight and have no fitment issues.

Hope that helps!

I have some box style on my drag car and I really like how easy it is to jack the car up from any point. I might just bite the bullet and order the cromoly 3 point version.

What I was planning on doing is starting with cromoly boxed style, and custom fabbing some round cromoly tubes to triangulate and complete the 3 points. Best of all worlds--easy to jack up, cromoly, and 3 point support!

Please do not overload this thread with such a wealth of suspension knowledge and reasoning on why I should choose tubular over boxed.
