Those aren't all that thick, I don't think. Check to make sure they are heavy enough for u.

If you buy a set of fram rails be sure to get at least a .120 wall thickness.

ALL RIGHT.THEY ARE 2"X3"X.083". THEY ARE FOR DRAGRACING. I WOULD THINK THERE STURDY ENOUGH. YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS

Check out the guys profile above your last post, better yet pic up the most recent Street Trucks magazine. Then, decide if you should listen to him.

autoweldchassis is a good company to deal with, and they are on the east coast, so shipping is only like 35 bucks for 2 backhalf rails....... the problem with the 3x2 .120 wall is that it flexes a good bit, all companies that sell the 3x2 frames recommend a rollbar or rollcage.... the .083 wall frames shouldnt be used on a minitruck IMO....

They are meant to be used with a full rollcage that will support the rear framerails. Without a rollcage, they will flex too much. Even .120 wall flexes a lot.
