[QUOTE="nextime, post: 12207839, member: 139120"] Ever see a square roll cage? All roll cages are round tubing cause they resist bending much more than a flat surface (square tubing). Square is much easier to cut and work with and that is probably why they use it. Doesn't NASCAR and Trophy racing trucks use all round tubing for their frames? All good quality k-members made out of round tubing? The round tubing transfers the load evenly, square stops at the bends. Look at all of the arches that support bridges and doorways under heavy old buildings. The arch transfers the weight easier that is why they use round. If square was really so strong all of our tie-rod ends would be square and the whole IRS assembly would have been square. The fact is round is stronger than square. Now it is more economical to use square in real world applications due to how easy it is to work with but any real frame maker will use round tubing in most of the frame. [/QUOTE]
