So my next question is did you find this hole on your own or did you make a call. For $6500 I would think good instructions isn't too much to ask for. But the parts are all very nice.

Oh getting the crossmember in was a chore. Big ratchet strap and a come a long and 2 hrs later it was in. I was working by myself.

Sorry for the delayed response, yes the instructions aren't very clear. For the tubing I used 1 1/2". I cant recall the wall thickness, but I used relatively light stuff because of how much bracing I planned to add. Triangles are strong so wall thickness doesn't have to be as heavy to a certain degree. Let me know if you have any more questions.
