I am going to be building a cage in my 2500 diesel ram soon, and its a heavy truck. what do you guys suggest to use for tube size and thickness?

I'd use 2" .120 wall. 2" is substantially stronger than even 1.75.

I'd probably use DOM vs. HREW, but HREW would be fine if the cage is built correctly.

I used 1.75 HREW / .120 and I'm comfortable with it.

And I'm also using HREW in 2" and I'm ditching the cab.
