Asking for knowledge... picking the collective brains

Won't the frame-side lower link mounts exert a lot of leverage & torsional (twisting) force on the tube they're attached to?

If so, is that tube heavier? Additional gusseting/tube planned?

Yes, it needs to be at least .188 or .250 wall dom. It needs tubing going toward the front for more bracing. Ask me how I know.

Frame rails/sub frame and roof bars are all .188 wall, and yes there is more tubing to put in.
