Is 2" x 4" x 0.120" steel tube strong enough for a frame? I would plate any joints internally or externally with 1/8" steel. Thanx again, Jamison

There are advantages to keeping the frame wide like the OE. Shock position, bag/coil mounts, and panhard length. I'd do the extra work to follow that plan. Yes, 2x4x.120 is plenty strong.
