Allowing you to put solid info regarding that frame on paper vs another. Phoning a company and asking where the weak points are is ridiculous. Just ask for the pertinent information that's it. If said company cannot or will not provide necessary info I said run. Reasons being its your life and or your family members, the cost ask me to drop 13-20k$....i want info,pride any frame manufacturer should be proud of their product. As for "stacking " steel on top of each other is sorry to say moronic. The weight alone of place two 2x4 rails on top of each other far outweighs any strengths they would have together. Hence why you see some frame manufacturers making side "rails" out of round tubing and building it like a sideways ladder. Incredibly strong and yet light weight. It's a similar idea as adding a gusset a small piece of tubing vs a piece of plate steel...

      Yes, I agree, you have no clue what I was saying. If you would have asked, I would have gladly shared what I interpret as your weak point was in understanding my blurb. You could rectify that somewhat be reading it again.
