    I've seen a body band that incorporated a tub support to the front seat. The back of the rear seat served as a tub support/grab bar for rear passengers and extended out onto the body band. The Max was suspended on a lift when the install was completed so as to eliminate any potential sag. I thought that was a neat idea as there was no cutting through the tub required for this setup. There were pics in the gallery showing this, but can't recall the name of the member who did this....

    That's a good Idea to suspend from the lift buy I wonder how they did it

    Edit my post..Good idea on the Max IV. I'd do mine like this
    Stand for the Flag. Kneel for the Cross.

    I like that a lot I'm thinking that's the route I will go and do a nice led light bar across the front and back

    Here's another option. I used two pieces of angle iron welded across the top of the rear seat frame attached to the tub in four places. It leveled out the sag in the tub and got rid of the chassis flex. Also made removable storage bins. Seat cushion covers it all up nice. This will support the roll cage as well.

    What it lacks in ground clearance it makes up for with traction.

    Hi freestyle, I used 2x1x1/8 angle iron for my Max2 body band. I think 3/16 would be overkill but its up to u. Later Mike
