Chassis Tube Size
Building a full chassis for my project and had a discussion yesterday with a member about my build. As we were talking through some clearance issues, it was mentioned to run 2" x 3" front frame rails while using 2" x 4" tube for the rest (perimeter and rear rails). The 2" x 3" would give me an extra 1" of clearance and make packaging a bit easier. I have read posts by a couple well respected engineering minds that if you are not running a cage, use 2" x 4". I'm not planning a cage but can I get away with 2" x 3" front rails while the rest is 2" x 4", or would I be asking for trouble? Thanks.
