You are referring to boxed or tubular components. The boxed components are 'supposed' to be stronger, but I personally just like tubular better. In the end I dont think it makes a big difference.

Hello,

Boxed will be heavier in most cases, a tubular design will be lighter and in some cases offer more room for a larger tire. They are also usually less expensive.

Hope that helps!

Boxed LCA = overbuilt obese dumptruck part.

Round steel tubular or 6061 LCA's of appropriate size are more than adequate.
