Was originally going to tie 1-5/8 into the 2" cage that I already have but now im wondering if I shouldnt go 1-3/4 whats the overall opinion???? not sure now. Its only $3.00 diff in dies

The only reason I see for going 1 5/8" is if you want to run it in between the door and the dash for a cage.

But since you already have a cage, I'd go with the 1 3/4"

The 1 5/8" would work better in the HF bender though!;)

My main cage is all 2" D.O.M but Im trying to keep the cost down
and 1-3/4" will be a little more universal for me right now just wish I didnt have to pay through the ass. I could have had 1-5/8 for $1.05 per ft and now to pay $1.70 more just for 1-3/4" sucks
and its the same thing everywhere i call around here....:mad:
